But Zhou Wenjun held back, his venomous eyes fixed on Xie Wuyi.
“You people are just born into wealth and privilege; otherwise, who would be the one down on their luck today?” Zhou Wenjun had remarkable patience and, despite his pain, declared, “I will not give up. My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven.”
A clap of thunder suddenly echoed through the clear night sky.
"Do you want to hear what you're saying?" Jiang Si found it really strange. "You are destined to be a villain for ten lifetimes, and the sins you have accumulated over ten lifetimes are too numerous to count. It's already a miracle that you can still be considered human. What are you thinking about?"
"Why bother talking to someone like that?" Xie Wuyi's eyes were full of disgust. Jiang Si would occasionally say a few words of nonsense, but Xie Wuyi was the kind of person who was ruthless and didn't talk much.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhou Wenjun died suddenly, his life force completely drained, ending his sinful life.
"Fine, don't tell me then," Xie Wuyi said, putting away his whisk. "Do you really think we can't find you?"
At the moment Zhou Wenjun died, a sudden gust of wind arose, dispelling all the gloom in the entire village.
The villagers who had become living corpses also officially died at that moment.
Some who were not severely poisoned fell into a deep coma.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face also arrived late.
Jiang Si was very blunt: "Such a serious thing happened here, and you didn't know anything about it?"
“Master Jiang,” Ox-Head and Horse-Face cried out, “we’ve been searching for you all along!”
Some of them should have died long ago, but their souls have yet to report to the underworld.
They also sent people to look for him, but the underworld was short-handed. They searched the entire mortal realm but couldn't find him. It's not that they didn't work.
At this moment, Zhou Wenjun's soul finally felt fear. "You can't arrest me! I am the chosen one, I am destined to be an emperor! Who dares to touch me?"
Xie Wuyi truly didn't want to laugh, and said without any mercy:
"The destiny of an emperor?"
"You'd be lucky to even survive a turtle's life."
Jiang Si and Xie Wuyi performed a ritual to help those who died unjustly pass on their lives, so that at least they could be normal people in their next life and not be idiots.
After all this was done, it was already dawn.
When Zhou Chongyang woke up, he felt pain in every bone in his body.
As soon as they stepped out of the room, they were greeted by Jiang Si and Xie Wuyi.
"Good morning," Zhou Chongyang said, "What are you all doing out so early?"
Jiang Si thought for a moment and said, "You should report it."
Zhou Chongyang: "??"
When he finally understood what had happened in the village overnight, his mind went blank.
Many villagers have been dead for some time, and their bodies have decomposed. Many of the houses are shocking and horrifying to look into.
On the mountain, dozens of charred corpses were piled up.
This is an extremely serious case.
After Zhou Chongyang's mind went numb, he immediately reported it to his superiors, who then reported it up the chain of command.
It's estimated that they rushed here as soon as they received the news; within just one hour, people were already heading here.
Fortunately, the place is in a remote location, and most people would think it's just a training exercise, with no idea that such a terrible tragedy had occurred in an unknown village.
On this day, Jiang Si finally met Guan Qian, the director of the State Special Affairs Management Office.
Guan Qian was handsome and looked to be only in his early twenties, but he possessed unfathomable strength; at the very least, Jiang Si couldn't see through his abilities.
"Miss Jiang, Mr. Xie, hello, I am Guan Qian."
Jiang Si and Xie Wuyi replied casually, "Hello."
Guan Qian didn't care about their coldness. He looked at the corpses being carried out of the village, his voice heavy with anxiety. "Thank you, otherwise..."
Otherwise, who knows how many more people would have died.
This place is naturally shielded; they can't calculate it, nor can they imagine it.
Jiang Si and Xie Wuyi were initially angry, feeling that this group of people were really useless, allowing such a disaster to happen.
But they only learned about this place by chance.
If they hadn't happened to meet, they probably wouldn't have known.
Zhou Wenjun was actually made a scapegoat.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. Someone can change your fate against all odds and not charge you a single penny.
The plan behind their back was to seize all the various destinies Zhou Wenjun had collected, while also deceiving the heavens, and Zhou Wenjun would be the one to pay the price.
Now that the Special Affairs Department personnel had arrived, they would naturally handle the rest, so Jiang Si and Xie Wuyi headed back home.
Jiang Si still needs to get the five-colored soil from Xue Shenqi.
Xue Shenqi obediently offered it up. He originally thought they would come back immediately after going to the secret realm, but he waited and waited and did not receive any news of their return. He almost gave up on Jiang Si in the future.
Jiang Si didn't explain, and took the five-colored soil back to her villa.
On her way back, her adoptive brother, Qin Zhi, happened to come looking for her.
"You've been wild for quite a while," Qin Zhi said.
“Let’s not talk about that,” Jiang Si said, taking out the five-colored soil. “Look at this, what is it?”
Qin Zhi stepped forward and said, "It's just five-colored soil, what's so special about it?"
“You don’t understand,” Jiang Si said mysteriously, “It is said that the five-colored soil can be used to grow Thunder Trees, and Thunder Trees can reach the ears of the heavens directly.”
If it really happens, her wish to ascend to heaven will be fulfilled.
Jiang Si calculated the exact time and took out the most precious Devouring Heaven Basin.
The name sounds impressive, but it can actually be any size you like, and it's perfect for growing all sorts of strange and unusual things.
She sprinkled five-colored soil on the Heaven-Swallowing Basin and carefully inserted the Thunderclap Wood.
The moment it was inserted, the sky and earth changed color, dark clouds covered the top, lightning flashed and thunder roared, as if it had exploded right above our heads.
Jiang Si, Qin Zhi, and Xie Wuyi's expressions changed simultaneously.
"Nine Heavens Profound Thunder?!"
It's just planting a *Thunderclap Tree*, is it really necessary to do this?
At that very moment, lightning struck.
They couldn't withstand it with their abilities; they could only barely dodge it. But the Nine Heavens Mystic Lightning seemed to have eyes, constantly watching them.
Qin Zhi shouted, "Quickly put down the Devouring Heaven Basin!"
Jiang Si cursed inwardly, reluctantly threw down the Devouring Heaven Basin, and then desperately ran outside.
This time, the Nine Heavens Thunder truly unleashed its power, with a purple lightning bolt as thick as a bowl striking down directly.
They escaped in time.
Jiang Si's villa was also reduced to ashes by lightning.
"..."
"..."
"..."
That day, several trending topics topped the charts.
#Rare lightning#
#May I ask who this fellow Daoist is undergoing tribulation here?#
The power of netizens is incredible; photos of Jiang Si's villa being razed to the ground quickly spread online, with even thoughtful comparison pictures provided.
[Oh my god, this is the first time I've ever seen lightning like this. Could someone really be undergoing tribulation?]
[This is terrifying, so bizarre. Why target that villa instead of other places? Were they doing something illegal inside?]
Praying that no one is injured or killed.
[Wait, this looks like Jiang Si's villa?]
[Huh? Someone can't stand this charlatan and wants to take her in?]
Li Jianshan and Guan Qingchen only saw the news on the trending topics. They rushed over and asked the most pressing question: "Master, what exactly did you do?"
