Chapter Seventy-Four: The Target of Public Criticism
"Jiang Hei, I am now your master. Come and kneel down before me and submit to me!" Master Ruyi shouted in a low voice!
Enveloped in the strong, alluring fragrance of the intoxicating powder, Ru Huan looked numb and had a very empty gaze. She then approached Master Ruyi like a walking corpse, and suddenly smiled under Master Ruyi's gaze!
Master Ruyi knew he was in trouble! He tried to escape, but he was too late! In an instant, he went from being Master Ruyi to a headless monk!
"Phew...! Luckily I had a substitute talisman, otherwise I would have really died there. This woman is not to be trifled with, I'd better get out of here quickly!" Master Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and then prepared to flee Chuanyun Mountain!
"Didn't you say you were going to be my master? Why are you running away?" Ru Huan suddenly asked, standing in front of him.
Master Ruyi was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground!
"Mountain Lord, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, I will never dare to do it again!" Master Ruyi knew that he had no way to escape, no matter how he tried to run, this woman would always appear by his side!
Master Ruyi was filled with remorse. While repenting, he crawled toward Ruhuan, crying bitterly, trying to grab Ruhuan's feet and beg her to let him go!
Ru Huan coldly watched as Master Ruyi crawled closer to her from afar, as if she truly wanted Master Ruyi to come before her to repent.
Just a meter or two away from Ruhuan, Master Ruyi suddenly attacked! Two palms, one red and one black, came flying towards Ruhuan!
Master Ruyi wanted to launch a surprise attack when Ruhuan felt she had victory in her grasp! He knew he had used this move to kill countless opponents stronger than himself, or at least severely injure them, ensuring they wouldn't chase after him!
Just as Master Ruyi was about to unleash his ultimate "Inverted Phoenix" technique and deliver a fatal blow to Ruhuan, he was suddenly grabbed by a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky!
Master Ruyi was horrified. Before he could even see what kind of monster it was, it gnawed off more than half of his head in one bite, and then with a second bite, his entire head was gone!
Without even a chance to utter a sound, she was devoured by the evil god! The evil god looked at Ruhuan with lingering satisfaction, as if asking if she had any more of these snacks, as he wanted to eat more!
And so, Master Ruyi ended his sinful, despicable, and shameless life...
Chuanyun Mountain
the top of the mountain,
Kneeling on top were countless pangolins, each one trembling as if awaiting judgment.
"It's perfectly normal for creatures like you with brains the size of walnuts to be fooled, but I'm very disappointed in you. If this happens again, I won't care about you. I'll just let you be manipulated at will. Even if you all die, it's none of my business. I'll just find a new group of smart creatures to train them again at Chuanyun Mountain. You'd better watch yourselves. Disperse!" Ru Huan said coldly to the trembling pangolins.
None of the pangolins lying on the ground dared to leave; they just lay there trembling.
"Master, please give us another chance. We will never let this happen again!" said the old pangolin in the lead.
"Really? Then I'll give you a task now, and let's see if you can complete it!" Ru Huan said.
"Master, just give us your orders, and we will definitely complete them. If we fail, we'll bring you our heads!" the old pangolin declared.
"Alright! Now go and occupy Cuiyun Mountain for me. From now on, Cuiyun Mountain will be an appendage of Chuanyun Mountain, understand?" Ru Huan said to the old pangolin.
"Rest assured, Master, we will definitely take down Cuiyun Mountain! Children, let's go! Charge towards Cuiyun Mountain!" The old pangolin, as if injected with chicken blood, led his offspring down the mountain and then surged towards Cuiyun Mountain.
If he hadn't controlled these pangolins, he might have actually been outmaneuvered by this Master Ruyi.
"It seems these creatures are still unreliable!" Ru Huan sighed. Now she knew from Monkey King that there was a group of creatures in the Heavenly Court who were officially recognized.
These beings were all composed of very famous creatures, divided into several factions. The monkey initially worshipped a master from the Wuwei faction, but later his rebellion failed.
He was suppressed by the leader of another sect invited by his master, and this suppression lasted for five hundred years. The monkey was completely dumbfounded, wondering when this five hundred years would end.
The powerful figure who suppressed him sent his underlings as intermediaries to persuade him to protect someone from a place called Dongtu to their boss, promising a generous reward in return!
It would also shorten the time he was suppressed. He was young and easily fooled at the time, and besides, he really wanted to escape from here, so he agreed.
He later realized that he had fallen into their trap and had become their lackey. His master was so angry that he stopped talking to him. Now he could only work as a henchman for this sect!
The monkey sect is now an outside sect, established here by the people it protects.
This Wuwei School further divided into countless smaller sects, a dazzling array of styles, but all these smaller sects were still under the unified management of the Wuwei School.
Now, Chuanyun Mountain is on the edge between the Wuwei Sect and this outside sect. In addition, the area is very barren, and neither sect wants it. Over time, it has become a no-man's-land, a paradise for these fleeing creatures!
Therefore, Ru Huan's current plan to send these pangolins to conquer Cuiyun Mountain's territory is to unify the area so that she will have the leverage to negotiate with these two sects.
The old pangolin and his companions conquered Cuiyun Mountain with great ease. After all, there were no more powerful creatures there; the powerful ones had all been killed. So, the old pangolin and his companions occupied Cuiyun Mountain without any suspense. Following their master's instructions, they did not disturb the Niu family's ancestral hall and graves, and even specially found more than a dozen pangolins to guard them!
When Niu Sichong heard that his parents' Cuiyun Mountain had been occupied by people from Chuanyun Mountain, but that his ancestral hall and graves were well protected, he did not come back to confront Ruhuan, as if he had tacitly accepted it.
Immediately afterwards, Ru Huan ordered Old Pangolin and the others to attack and capture the caves of the five creatures killed by Niu Sichong, and brought them all under his command.
In a short time, Ru Huan became the owner of seven or eight mountain peaks!
The old pangolin's warlike genes were suddenly activated by Ru Huan and the others. He felt restless if he didn't fight for a day, as if he had no way to use his strength. He kept asking Ru Huan which mountain they wanted to conquer.
Seeing their boundless energy, Ru Huan started letting them conduct simulated combat exercises and drills. These pangolins had never played like this before, and their enthusiasm soared. They would organize exercises and combat drills from time to time...
As Ru Huan watched the pangolins slowly begin their journey, she herself gradually felt more at ease, and countless pangolins began to transform into human form.
Ru Huan has a rule that as long as a pangolin can transform into human form, she will give it a mountain and become its master, so that these pangolins will cultivate desperately on their own without anyone supervising them!
As Ru Huan's commotion grew louder, some beings from both sides began to pay attention to this once desolate place. Seeing how quickly humans had unified the area, they all started to consider offering them amnesty.
"Hahaha... Brother Monkey, what wind blew you here?" Ru Huan asked happily as she watched the monkey ride his somersault cloud to her Cloud Piercing Mountain.
"Hehe, little sister, you're really something now! You've managed to organize this place perfectly, it's become a local tyrant!" the monkey said admiringly.
"Oh dear, they weren't as powerful as Brother Monkey made them out to be. I was just forced into it. They provoked me first, and I was forced to fight back. After killing them, I couldn't just let these things go to waste, so I did it on a whim!" Ru Huan said with a smile.
"Come on, come on, it's been so long since we last met. I felt like I didn't have enough to drink last time, so let's keep drinking today, we have to drink until we're satisfied!" the monkey said heartily.
"Alright, little sister will drink with Brother Monkey until we drop!"
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the monkey was thoroughly enjoying himself. Ru Huan had his pangolins, which had already transformed into human form, join him, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Little sister, let me tell you a story. I think this story is really funny!" the monkey suddenly said to Ruhuan.
"Monkey King can tell jokes? Then I want to hear one!" Ru Huan said with great curiosity.
"It's a lame joke, the kind that's really easy to laugh at," the monkey said, waving his hand dismissively.
"Now that Brother Monkey has said that, I'm even more interested!" Ru Huan said with a smile.
"Hehe, you!" Monkey King pointed at Ru Huan and started telling his lame joke.
There were two farming households that didn't get along well to begin with. They had been arguing fiercely over the boundaries of their fields for a long time, and sometimes they would even fight each other!
However, right on the boundary line between their two adjacent plots of land, a melon seedling suddenly sprouted. At first, neither of them paid any attention to it, thinking that the seedling probably wouldn't live long.
But to everyone's surprise, the melon seedling not only did not die, but it grew very vigorously, even flowering and bearing countless fruits.
Both families were very interested in the fruit on the melon seedling, but they felt that the fruit was not yet ripe, so they would have to wait a while longer.
The two families began to be wary of each other and were preparing to start picking the melons. They might even start fighting over these melons!
After saying that, Monkey King took a sip of wine and looked at Ru Huan with some concern.
"Hehe, Monkey King, the joke you told is not funny at all, but a melon seedling doesn't belong to either of the two families, so why would they come to pick it?"
"Greed! All that talk about detachment from worldly desires and tranquility is just bullshit!" Monkey King slammed his wine glass on the ground and said.
"Hehe, Brother Monkey, don't be angry. I just don't know if these two farmers recognize this melon seedling, or if they know if it's edible. What if the fruit it grows is poisonous?" Ru Huan asked with a smile.
"That's easy, they'll just uproot the melon seedling and prevent it from growing back!" Monkey said, looking at Ruhuan with a worried expression.
"Then let them give it a try!" Ru Huan said, taking a small sip of her wine.
"I came here because the farmers asked me to, so you cough cough..." Monkey King coughed lightly twice, and then said nothing more. Those who understand will understand.
“Go back and tell the farmers that I haven’t decided yet which farmer will give me the most fertilizer,” Ru Huan said with a smile.
"Little sister, I..." the monkey hesitated, caught in a dilemma.
"It's alright! Monkey, just do your own thing, I'll handle the rest!" Ru Huan comforted the monkey.
After seeing the monkey off, Ru Huan gathered all the pangolins that had transformed into human form and prepared to hold a meeting.
"You must have heard it just now. Some people see that our place is already taking shape and is not as scattered as before. It's almost unified. Some people want to steal the fruits of our labor. What do you think we should do? Should we let them steal the fruits, or should we stop them from doing so?" Ru Huan asked, looking at the pangolins.
"We fought tooth and nail to win this place, losing so many comrades and loved ones. Why should we just hand it over? I disagree. Anyone who dares to come, just kill them!" a pangolin said directly.
"That's right! Why didn't we see these things helping us when we were first conquering these hills? Now that things have stabilized, there's no way we can sit back and reap the benefits without doing anything!"
“I support being attacked, but their two families are so powerful, and we are so small. They could crush us with a single finger. How can we fight back?” some pangolins analyzed.
"Even if it costs me my life, I won't let them reap the benefits so easily. I'd rather destroy everything we've built than give it to them!"
“We still have so many old and young people, what will happen to them? We strong and able-bodied men can all die in battle, but what about our descendants? We can't really let them be wiped out completely, can we?”
"We can relocate our descendants first, and then fight them!"
"Where to move to? This entire Heavenly Court is their territory, going anywhere means certain death!"
"Then let's not leave, let's stay here, let's live and die together!"
A group of pangolins were making a ruckus, expressing their opinions. Ru Huan watched as these pangolins became somewhat agitated, as if they were ready to die for their cause.
Some were shrewd and calculating, making plans for their future mission to the rear.
"Master, what do you see...?" The old pangolin looked at the noisy scene and said with a worried expression.
"It's alright! Let them prepare themselves mentally, otherwise they won't be able to handle it if a real fight breaks out!" Ru Huan said calmly.
"Why is our Chuanyun Mountain so plagued by misfortune? Is God trying to drive us to our doom?" The old pangolin sighed to the heavens.
"Don't be so pessimistic. I have my own plans. You just need to do your own things and I'll take care of the rest!" Ru Huan said.
"But I don't want my entire clan to die here!" the old pangolin said with a worried expression.
"If you want your descendants to survive, you must fight to the death! Kill them until they are in pain! Kill them until they are terrified! Kill them until they will run far away from you when they see you, kill them until they have nightmares about you!" Ru Huan said.
"Yes! Take life and death lightly! If you're not convinced, then fight! Whether you're afraid or not, you'll die anyway, so you might as well fight them!"
"The master is right. We must kill these people until they wail and howl in terror, and be terrified of their name!"
“Your courage is commendable! But courage alone is not enough. You must try your best to improve your strength. The stronger you are, the safer your descendants will be!” Ru Huan said.
After Ru Huan sent the pangolins away, not long after, the old pangolin hurriedly ran back, saying that there was someone outside the mountain gate named Tai Bai Jin Xing who wanted to see him.
"Tai Baijinxing? This peacemaker has arrived. It seems the Wuwei Sect is starting to get restless. Let's bring him in!" Ru Huan said with a smile.
"Oh my, I thought the mountain lord of this area would be a burly, muscular brute, but I didn't expect him to be such a delicate young lady. She's not simple at all!" Tai Bai Jinxing started showering Ru Huan with sweet talk as soon as she arrived.
"Old man, get to the point. Your tricks might work on monkeys, but they're useless against me!" Ru Huan said, looking at the white-haired old man.
"Ah, uh..." The old man looked embarrassed, then looked at Ruhuan.
"Tell me, what kind of conditions can you offer me? They've offered me a very high one!" Ru Huan said bluntly.
"Oh, cough cough, we can directly incorporate you into our regular staff, and the same goes for you subordinates. You'll receive a monthly salary, as long as you don't go to that Paradise Gate over there!" said Tai Bai Jinxing.
"That's it? What's so great about a formal position? It's not even as good as us free spirits, who are bound by countless rules and regulations, and don't have the freedom and ease we have!" Ru Huan said dismissively.
“We can still talk, we can still talk. Why don’t you tell me your request first, and then I’ll relay it to our boss? What do you think?” Tai Bai Jinxing asked Ru Huan.
"Master, Monkey King is here again!" the old pangolin reported from outside.
"Hehe, my Monkey King has arrived just in time!" Ru Huan chuckled, then looked at Tai Bai Jin Xing with a smile.
When Tai Bai Jinxing heard that the monkey had arrived, he was taken aback at first, and then he prepared to leave.
"Hahaha... Little sister, I'm here again. These are the conditions our boss gave you. What do you think? Oh! This old man looks familiar. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before!" The monkey came in from outside, making a ruckus, carrying a memory stone. He didn't expect to run into an old acquaintance here.
“Hehe, Great Sage, oh, he’s not the Great Sage anymore, he should be called the Victorious Fighting Buddha,” Tai Bai Jinxing said, looking at the monkey.
"Hehe, I thought it was someone else, but it's Tai Bai Jinxing. What brings you, you big con artist, to this remote and impoverished place? What do you want with my sister?" the monkey asked, looking at Tai Bai Jinxing.
"When I passed by here in the sky, I suddenly saw ten thousand divine rays of light. I thought it was some kind of celestial paradise, so I came here to check it out. I never expected it to be the celestial paradise of such a beautiful young girl. I feel that she and I are destined to meet, so I came to bother you!" said Tai Bai Jinxing.
"After all these years, you're still so shameless! Looks like you're going to fool someone this time, you big con artist? You're not thinking of fooling my little sister, are you?" the monkey teased.
"Ahem, no, no, I was just asking if this young lady would be interested in joining our Wuwei Sect. Our benefits are quite good!" said Tai Baijinxing.
"Hehe, yeah, back then I was tricked by you into becoming some kind of stable boy, it was really great!" the monkey mocked.
"Ahem, let's not bring up the past anymore. Look at you now, you're in a high position over there. Gold shines wherever it is, don't you think, Holy Buddha?" Tai Bai Jinxing said with a laugh.
"Yes, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I would still be like my little sister, carefree and happy all day long, not bound by countless rules and regulations. I really want to thank you!" After the monkey finished speaking, the iron rod in his hand appeared and disappeared.
“Holy Buddha, don’t be impulsive. We are all employed, we are all on the same level, we are all civilized people. There’s no need to start fighting as soon as we meet. That’s not good!” Tai Bai Jinxing quickly said.
“We’re different! You just like to talk nonsense, while I prefer to fight rather than talk!” the monkey said.
"This...this...I think I came at the wrong time today. I'll come again next time, hehe, next time!" After saying that, Tai Bai Jinxing got up to leave.
“Old man, did I tell you to leave? Sit down! Since you represent your Wuwei Sect and I represent my Blissful Sect, let’s sit here and talk things out so my little sister can consider which side she wants to join!” the monkey said.
"Can you be the master of the Paradise Gate?" Tai Bai Jinxing squinted at the monkey.
"Whether I can make the decision or not, I'm better than you! I can keep my promises! But you big liar, are you trying to trick my little sister into cleaning the pigsty and raising pigs like you did with me back then?" the monkey asked.
"How could that be? Besides, we don't raise pigs there, and we don't have any pigsties. Don't talk nonsense and make things up!" Tai Bai Jinxing quickly clarified.
"The conditions our Blissful Sect offered my little sister are that as long as she joins our sect, she will become the ruler of this place! Her monthly salary will be the same as those of the domain lords. What about you? Tell me your conditions?" the monkey asked, looking at Tai Bai Jinxing.
"What we mean is that as long as Miss Jiang Heihei relinquishes control of Chuanyun Mountain, we'll let her study at our Wuwei Sect's advanced academy for a few years. After she comes out, we'll make arrangements for her. Just a friendly reminder, once you enter the Wuwei Advanced Academy, you'll be a very powerful figure who will hold important positions!" Tai Baijinxing said.
"Hahaha... So what you mean is, first we'll cut off your roots, then we'll send you to your brainwashing facility to be brainwashed, and after that you'll become your puppet completely, right?" the monkey said.
"Don't think of things in such a sordid way, okay? Don't you also have a Bliss Academy? Do you dare say that the beings who enter your Bliss Academy don't come out the same as those from our Wuwei Academy?" Tai Bai Jinxing retorted indignantly.
“Yes, I know, that’s why I applied for a local official position for my little sister. She can just stay in her own little plot of land and doesn’t need to go to any of those damn academies of bliss!” Monkey said, looking at Ruhuan.
"We can also let Jiang Heihei manage this area, and we can add two more areas this big. We should also give her a special patrol permit that allows her to go to the Wuwei Sect at any time, and she can also patrol other areas and hills!" Tai Baijinxing said.
"What's the use? Offending people everywhere. If nothing goes wrong, it's fine, but if something does go wrong, someone like my little sister who has no backing or connections, would they just be killed?"
"That's not true. We're all fair and just. There are no connections or power dynamics like you have!"
"Hahaha... Fairness and justice? There is no such thing as fairness and justice in this world! If there really were, then what are you talking about, survival of the fittest and natural selection?" the monkey asked.
"And what about you? Haven't you always advocated being without desires and detached from worldly concerns? Even your own boss went to perform a ritual for someone's soul to be saved and complained that the money given was too little, and you call that saving all sentient beings?" Tai Bai Jinxing retorted.
The monkey and Taibai Jinxing were engaged in a heated debate, arguing back and forth endlessly. Ruhuan simply watched with a detached smile as the two argued, their faces red and necks thick, neither trying to mediate nor making them stop.
"Little sister, listen to your brother's advice, don't believe this old geezer's words, he's a very wicked old man!" the monkey said, pointing at Taibai Jinxing.
"Heh heh, you're saying you're so great? If you were so great, would you even disown your master? You're just a traitor!" said Thai Bai Jinxing.
"Old man, say that again if you dare!" the monkey said, looking at Taibai Jinxing with a gloomy face.
"I told you, did you think you could do whatever you wanted just because you have a master backing you up? And what happened? You still got a lesson. You don't even know who you are. You're all talk and no action. Who didn't climb up from the bottom step by step? You came here as if you could ascend to heaven in one step..." Tai Bai Jinxing's words were piercing to the heart.
"ah……",
The monkey finally snapped! It swung its iron rod at Tai Bai Jin Xing, who caught the rod with his bare hands!
The two went from a verbal duel to a physical one! Suddenly, the Qi of Chuanyun Mountain raged, the earth shook, and the Monkey King and Taibai Jinxing fought from the sky to the ground, and then from the ground back to the sky...
"Master, why are they fighting?" The old pangolin looked at the two balls of divine light colliding in the sky, somewhat surprised.
“That’s what makes it lively,” Ru Huan said with a smile.
Three hours later.
Monkey and Taibai Jinxing sat panting on either side of Ruhuan, glaring at each other with hatred, neither willing to yield to the other.
"You've said your piece, you've fought, what's the point of the performance? Keep going, keep the music playing, keep the dance going!" said Ru Huan Monkey and Tai Bai Jin Xing.
“Little sister, I’m doing this for your own good. Going to their side is really not good. It’s better to come to my side. We can look after each other, and Niu Si Chong is also on my side. The combined power of the three of us is quite formidable!” the monkey said.
"Yes! The combined power of the three of you is enormous, but can you sleep peacefully at night? One of you has to face your father's killer for a long time, and the other has to be on guard against your ally's unexpected betrayal!" Tai Bai Jinxing sneered.
"You old geezer, do you want to die? Why are you interrupting me?" the monkey said.
"I told you, what can you do to me?" said Tai Bai Jinxing.
"Do you still want to have a fight?"
"Let's do it! Who's afraid of who!"
"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing and fighting. Tell your boss what I'm saying!" Ru Huan looked at Monkey and Tai Bai Jinxing.
The two men looked at Ruhuan, waiting for her to decide which side to go to.
"I'm on Chuanyun Mountain, I'm not going anywhere! I am who I am, and Chuanyun Mountain is Chuanyun Mountain. It doesn't belong to your Blissful Sect, nor to your Wuwei Sect. Chuanyun Mountain belongs to this place! Do you understand what I mean?" Ruhuan asked, looking at the two of them.
"Little sister, are you confused?" the monkey said anxiously.
"Hmph! What arrogance! I hope you won't regret your decision!" Tai Bai Jinxing said with a cold snort.
"I would truly regret it if I joined either of your sides!" Ru Huan said, looking at Tai Bai Jin Xing.
"That's good! I hope you won't let me down and will fight to the end!" said Thai Bai Jinxing.
"You don't need to worry about that!"
"Okay! Until we meet again!"
After saying that, Tai Bai Jinxing stormed off without looking back!
“Little sister, you’re being reckless. We can agree to it first, and then discuss it further later. But if you do it this way, neither the Wuwei Sect nor the Bliss Sect will let you off the hook!” the monkey said.
"Whatever! Let them come at me. You should go back too. Next time we meet, we might be facing off as soldiers!" Then he said, looking at the monkey.
"Sigh..." The monkey let out a long sigh, and then left Chuanyun Mountain...
“Master, those creatures on those mountains are willing to be recruited by the Blissful Sect and the Wuwei Sect. They even said that if we want to die, we shouldn’t drag them down with us!” the old pangolin said.
"Then tell them that those who want to stay in Chuanyun Mountain will fight the enemy together and share life and death! We will share wealth and glory in the future. If they want to join the two major forces, tell them to leave the jurisdiction of Chuanyun Mountain immediately. Give them two days. Those who do not leave will all be executed as spies of the Blissful Sect and the Wuwei Sect!" Ru Huan said coldly.
"Master, this isn't a good idea. If we do this, they'll riot!" the old pangolin said.
"These people have always been an unstable group in Chuanyun Mountain, and this kind of hidden danger must be eliminated sooner or later!" Ru Huan said very forcefully.
"Alright!" The old pangolin didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong. Seeing his master like this, he still felt very uneasy.
"If you think we'll lose, I advise you to take all your descendants and leave this place immediately, because what happens next will be completely irrelevant to you. You can still leave now. Don't let them fail you when they've already attacked. I'm telling you, none of you will escape, no matter where you go!" Ru Huan said to the old pangolin.
The old pangolin shuddered. Ru Huan's murderous aura was extremely strong, and the old pangolin felt as if countless steel knives were cutting into its flesh!
"We won't run away, we'll stand with our master!" the old pangolin quickly said.
"I hope so, you may leave now!"
"Little sister, this is the last time I'll ask you: do you want to join us or destroy us?" The monkey stood on the somersault cloud, looking at Ru Huan with a solemn expression.
"Tell your boss not to mess with me, and everyone will be safe. If you don't listen to my advice, you'll have to bear the consequences!" Ru Huan said, looking at the monkey.
"Alright, I will definitely convey your message!" The monkey rode away on his somersault cloud...
Seeing the pangolins' various expressions, Ru Huan ignored them, only giving them a cold glance. Wherever her gaze fell, countless pangolins quickly lowered their heads, but when they met Ru Huan's eyes...
Two weeks later,
The once cloudless sky suddenly darkened! A golden cloud drifted in from the horizon and stopped not far from Chuanyun Mountain!
"The wicked Jiang Heihei has been indiscriminately killing innocent people in the Chuanyun Mountain area, disrupting the order of this pure land, causing resentment and suffering among the people. The Wuwei Sect's Heavenly General Mori Moqi has come to capture you. I hope you will obediently surrender, otherwise swords will have no eyes..." A six or seven-meter-tall figure covered in golden armor resounded through the clouds with a thunderous voice!
But before the heavenly general could finish speaking, a giant hand reached out from the Cloud Piercing Mountain and grabbed him in the palm!
"You audacious monster, how dare you act so violently! Quickly release our General Morimo, or else..." Before the other heavenly general could finish speaking, his companion, who was called Morimo, was crushed by the giant hand!
Morimo's spirit panicked and fled from his body, trying to leave, but a burst of flames swept over him, and even his spirit was reduced to ashes!
The general, who had been about to utter a few harsh words, quickly shut his mouth. He looked at his companion beside him with lingering fear. Just moments before, his arrogant and domineering companion had been killed in a single breath! Just what kind of ruthless person was in Chuanyun Mountain!
"Kill!" The heavenly general had no choice but to grit his teeth and shout, brandishing his weapon. The heavenly soldiers behind him poured down towards Chuanyun Mountain like a waterfall!
"Roar!" A giant five or six meters tall appeared and charged directly at the cascading celestial soldiers! The spiked club in his hand slammed down on the celestial soldiers!
The moment the heavenly soldiers descended, all the pangolins that had been standing ready suddenly knelt down and surrendered! Countless other creatures also knelt down, except for Ru Huan, Hu Lijing, and the three evil gods; all the others had submitted!
"The evil god has returned!" Ru Huan summoned the evil god back.
The evil god roared at the heavenly soldiers, then returned to Ruhuan's side!
"Jing'er, I'm begging you, please kneel down now! Otherwise, you'll be killed by these heavenly soldiers!" Hu Lijing's mother pleaded with her daughter, tugging at Hu Lijing's clothes.
Hu Lijin was completely heartbroken. She had been defiled by her own father, and then by her father's brother. She was now standing there wanting to die.
"Good! All of you who have submitted to our Wuwei Sect may come over now," the heavenly general said, his courage and spirit rising as he saw that the situation here was not as bad as he had imagined.
These beings kneeling on the ground hurriedly came to the heavenly soldiers and generals, fearing that they might suddenly be abandoned.
"Jiang Hei, now it's just the three of you. Now you know what it means to have many helpers when you have the Way, and few helpers when you lose the Way! I advise you to surrender, otherwise you will not escape death!" This heavenly general said with great confidence.
"Heh heh, really? You think you can kill me with just a mere Heavenly General like you?" Ru Huan said, looking at the Heavenly General.
“There are so many of us, and you only have three! We can wear you down even if we have to wait it out!” the heavenly general said.
"Really?" As soon as Ru Huan finished speaking, a jade pendant suddenly appeared in her hand!
"Kill them!" The heavenly general saw that Ru Huan had already drawn her weapon, and his heart tightened. He immediately ordered his heavenly soldiers to charge forward!
These heavenly soldiers surged towards Ru Huan like a tsunami, and Ru Huan calmly threw the jade pendant in her hand away!
The jade pendant grew rapidly in the wind, transforming from the size of a washbasin into the size of a round table! It then swept across the heavenly soldiers!
The heavenly soldiers at the front raised their weapons and magical treasures to try and knock down the chisel, but their weapons and magical treasures turned into fragments the moment they touched the chisel and scattered in the air...
Immediately afterwards, countless heavenly soldiers were crushed by the jade pendant! Patches of blood mist bloomed like crimson fireworks over Chuanyun Mountain!
Countless celestial soldiers struck by the chisel were annihilated, their souls destroyed, and were harvested by the chisel in vast swathes! The weapons and magical treasures in the hands of countless celestial generals were also smashed to pieces by the chisel!
The heavenly soldiers and generals were terrified and fled in disarray after being slaughtered by Ru Huan's Zhuozi. They no longer possessed the domineering and invincible aura they had before they arrived...
The heavenly soldiers and generals sent by Wuwei either fled or died, and patches of golden blood covered Chuanyun Mountain, along with a group of pangolins and other creatures with deathly pale faces!
"Didn't you submit to the Wuwei faction? Why don't you escape with them?" Ru Huan asked with a mocking expression as she looked at the group of pangolins and creatures.
