Chapter 223 The Wrath of Heaven
Inside the Tianxian Hall.
Xu Ming and his men stood in front of the hall and reported the matter in detail.
Upon hearing that tens of thousands of books had been melted down and sold to ordinary people, even Zhu Yi couldn't keep his composure, and the veins on his forehead throbbed slightly.
Xuan Yue took a deep breath and calmed down the cultivation she had just gained.
If they hadn't heard it with their own ears, these high and mighty immortals would never have known that there was such a despicable and shameless person as Qingbao in the world!
"Damn it, what do they think our library is?!"
"Never before has the sect been humiliated like this since the Grand Elder founded it ten thousand years ago!"
"Tianxian's millennia-long legacy has been ruined by a three-year-old child!"
The Tianxian Sect members, who had already suffered repeated defeats, were now even more furious.
Actually, Qingbao should have been killed as soon as she was imprisoned in Tianxian.
Unfortunately, the Second Elder valued talent and delayed the opportunity in order to save Tang Chen's life.
Tang Chen, that traitor!
Having used so many resources from the sect, he actually betrayed Tianxian at a crucial moment!
Damn it!
Everyone was angry.
Xu Ming tried to calm his breathing and continued, "Those mortals even said that such good paper became worthless after our Tianxian cultivation method was written on it."
"They even bought the books at scrap value!"
"Tianxian's millennia-old heritage was sold as scrap by Qingbao for two coins a pound!"
Snap—
The armrest on Zhu Yi's right hand collapsed and shattered instantly.
His gaze was terrifyingly cold. "Two coins? Heh."
Even the dead leaves that fell to the ground during the reign of Emperor Tianxian would be worth more than two coins in the human world.
Qingbao is provoking them!
"Brother Yi! Since you're so angry, why don't we join forces and kill Qingbao to avenge this humiliation!" Xuan Yue gritted her teeth in hatred.
Since both of them are already at the Taixu cultivation level, are they afraid of not being able to defeat them?
Beside Qingbao, Fu Tu had become tattered, and Tang Chen had left; only Si He remained by her side.
If the two of them make a move, they will definitely be able to kill them!
"She got angry on purpose. Her main goal now is to lure the two of us into making a move, and then kill us. Knowing it's a trap, why did we go along with her?"
Zhu Yi didn't even glance at her.
Their cultivation levels were forcibly raised through the Golden Core technique; without replenishing their own power, they would likely be weak.
Xuan Yue choked up again, and an indescribable, unfamiliar feeling welled up in her heart once more.
Yi Ge's attitude towards her has truly changed.
"Then, what should we do?" she asked in silence.
I really want to restore my eyesight so I can see clearly whether the man in front of me still looks the same as I do now.
Xuan Yue's heart is as cold as an icy valley.
"Know yourself and know your enemy, defeat them one by one. Even the most powerful person has weaknesses, as long as..."
Zhu Yi slowly lowered his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his lips. "As long as Tang Chen doesn't make a move, Qing Bao doesn't have much of a chance of winning with us."
She is indeed the most capable.
The more powerful you are, the more weaknesses you have.
Xuan Yue suddenly realized, "You mean, we should deal with Tang Chen first?"
Everyone in the hall smiled.
Shouldn't Tianxian's traitors be dealt with?
"This time, it's in the name of justice!"

Tang Chen has been back in Ming County for three months.
Ming County needs more time to recover. It is springtime now, and she needs to bring more rain so that the seeds can germinate and grow as soon as possible.
She stood in the sky, and below her were thousands of people, looking up at her with reverence.
Tang Chen formed hand seals and cast a spell, spinning rapidly without leaving the umbrella.
Another gentle spring rain fell on Ming County.
"Fairy, look! Something green is growing here!" A child lay on the ground, staring intently at the tender green sprout emerging from the ground.
Tang Chen put away his umbrella and went to the fields with the people, where the rice was gradually sprouting.
It brings hope for life!
"Great! After a thousand years, our Ming County has finally enjoyed favorable weather and abundant harvests!" The magistrate wept uncontrollably.
The native people of Ming County had never seen rice, grass, or vegetables.
But now, Tang Chen's arrival has brought everything.
"If we wait three months, these seedlings will mature and produce grain, and we will no longer need to spend money to buy grain from outside."
Survival here is so difficult that Tang Chen can't imagine how hard they worked to earn their money.
The people who remain here have survived to this day thanks to generations of people who have taken root here and carried on their traditions.
"Fairy, is what you're saying true? This can produce grain?" The child looked at Tang Chen with wide, eager eyes.
Tang Chen crouched down and patted her head. "What's your name?"
"My name is He Miao, a name given to me by my grandfather." Little He Miao smiled. She looked thin and frail from years of malnutrition, but the simplicity and clarity in her eyes were the most touching.
"Alright, Hemiao, from now on this field is yours. You can come and see it every day and you will know how plants grow. They can withstand wind and rain when they grow up, and so can you."
Tang Chen stood in front with the children, facing the land.
In reality, it is a new beginning for the people of Ming County!
The little rice seedlings cheered and jumped for joy, leading several children to guard this field.
After returning home.
The county magistrate came to see Tang Chen, bringing her many bolts of cloth and precious items.
"Fairy, you have worked hard these past three months. These are all offered to you."
These items were purchased thanks to the heartfelt wishes of the people, and the entire Ming County pooled together their resources.
Tang Chen opened her eyes, and the items in front of her kept receding until they reached the magistrate's hands.
“A thousand years ago, I was also a native of Ming County. I returned from cultivating immortality to protect my hometown, all for my original aspiration.”
Material things don't hold much appeal for her.
She only wanted to see Ming County restored to its former state of abundant water and soil, where the people lived in peace and prosperity.
The magistrate felt ashamed and said, "When I got back, I returned all the money and got the silver back. Now that our lives are better, we won't have to beg people from the neighboring county anymore."
"Yes, with me here, your lives will definitely get better." Tang Chen's gaze was firm.
Everything she did, besides making amends, also reflected her adherence to her principles.
These days...
She guided the people in farming and growing vegetables, and led them in weaving cloth and raising livestock.
Sometimes, dressed in flowing white, she would roll up her sleeves and step into the fields to begin cultivating the land.
She didn't use magic; she demonstrated it herself.
Exhausted, she returned home, recited the purification incantation, and lay down on the couch, completely clean, breathing slightly.
Bu Li floated over, conjured tea, and made her drink it.
"This can't go on forever. You're teaching thousands of people all sorts of skills, village by village. How long will it take?"
"That's true. I've had a long day teaching only three villages." If Tang Chen were an ordinary person, he would have been exhausted long ago.
She sat up abruptly and came up with a solution.
"Tomorrow I will go to other places and buy more farming books. I will have the county magistrate distribute them to every village. As long as someone can read, they can follow the farming methods in the books without making any mistakes."
There's no time to lose.
The next day at daybreak, Tang Chen left Ming County and went to the nearest prefecture to buy books.
Before leaving, she specially set up a barrier in Ming County.
*
Soon after, a group of uninvited guests arrived in Ming County.
The little seedling was bending over to pull weeds from the rice paddies; the plump seedlings were already as tall as her calves.
She happily called her friends over to watch together.
The next instant, a group of immortals in flowing white robes descended before her.
Her spotless boots trampled her rice seedlings into the mud.
The leading immortal smiled slightly, "Betraying the Heavenly Manifestation to teach mortals to farm, what does Tang Chen gain?"
The next moment.
The sky over Ming County was suddenly shrouded in smog, and the drizzle turned into thunder.
The entire county was plunged into fear and despair.
