Chapter 332: World Situation
This silver bow, as tall as a person, is Sikong Qin's magic weapon and is extremely powerful.
“Bang!”
The arrow was like a beam of light, shooting straight into the sky.
The sound of the bowstring caused the snowflakes on the surrounding trees to fall.
The Blue-Feathered Crow was very smart and dodged quickly, so it was not hit directly. However, it was injured by the magical energy on the arrow and fell to the ground quickly.
"Do you want to fight them directly and eliminate the hidden danger?" After Tuoba Butuo condensed the Taoist lotus, he was not afraid of the snow in the day.
"Yi Zhouxue is a cautious person. He must have the confidence to come and kill us. Moreover, Kurong Palace might have sent experts to deal with us. It is extremely dangerous to stay here. This is not the right time. After all, in the eyes of most people in Dao Sect, the three of us are outsiders and aliens who may betray us at any time. At the headquarters, all forces gave face to Nan Zun and Palace Master An, so they did not act rashly."
Li Weiyi stared at the location where Qingyu Ya fell, calculated the distance, and with a slightly condensed expression, he attached a magic talisman to Qi Xiao: "Go!"
They hid and fled all the way, and half a day later, the three arrived in Jin County. They took off their masks and boarded a passenger ship to Leiling City without stopping.
Compared to running on the lonely and empty snowfield, hiding on the boat is not so conspicuous.
In the cabin, Qi Xiao smiled and said, "Based on my arrangements in Jin County, they will definitely think we are hiding in the city. We can at least hold them back for an hour. In an hour, there will be a lot of boats and vehicles departing from Jin County!"
This is a large luxury post ship, equipped with a defensive formation. It is divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. All of them are long-distance passengers, and each of them has powerful cultivation.
In troubled times, if you are not strong enough, how can you dare to travel far? The stern of the ship carried seven huge strange beasts. They were majestic and radiant, and obviously extraordinary. I wonder which wealthy guest they belonged to.
Li Weiyi used a disguise technique and wore a simple gray linen outfit. He had a slightly plump face and a kind look. While dining on the first floor, he asked everyone for various information.
As for Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao, they both have pure immortal bodies. Even after using the art of disguise, they still stand out from the crowd. Therefore, they reduce their exposure to public and have been practicing in the cabin.
They don't have the ability to disguise themselves like Zuoqiu Hongting, who has practiced since childhood and can hide the skin of a pure immortal body.
This post ship departed from Longzhou. Most of the people on board were local tyrants, gang masters, and children of powerful families in Longzhou. They were heading to Lingxiao City to seek refuge with relatives and friends, to join the army, or to seek a livelihood.
Longzhou is famous throughout the world for the existence of thousands of Longmen gates.
It is a wealthy state that ranks high among Lingxiao habitats, with a population of tens of millions.
Of course, that is already in the past.
Over the past two years, the human race and the demon race have been at war, with Longzhou bearing the brunt of the attack. It has been attacked by the imperial court, the Snow Sword Tang Court, the Thunder Sky Sect, and various rebel forces in the eastern border, and has been unable to stop it.
Longmen ended up in a disastrous defeat, evacuated Longzhou, retreated to the East China Sea, and joined forces with the Mishima bandits, continuing to resist stubbornly.
The power of the demon clan is mainly in the western border, and at most they can take care of the southern border, but the eastern border is really out of their reach.
After Longmen withdrew from Longzhou, the small forces that it had once depended on, as well as the sects, gangs, and families with which it had connections, were naturally liquidated and attacked. Those who are powerful can use their connections to escape with their entire family.
Those without strength can only wait to die in the war and be reduced to ashes.
"Longzhou and Qingzhou were once densely populated, with a combined population of more than 100 million. The martial arts flourished, and the land was fertile. After two years of war, at least 10 million people died tragically, and tens of millions were displaced. Everything was destroyed, and the plain was covered with bones. It was really tragic!"
"Yes! Longmen deserved to die, but more than 90% of the people who died were civilians who had nothing to do with it."
"Once war breaks out, what is right or wrong? The conquerors are the righteous army, but those who died in the aftermath of the battle, those who died because of their looting, once the law disappears, good people also become evil people, everyone is killing, no one stands up to maintain order and uphold justice. Who can those innocent people who died in vain seek justice?"
"In the final analysis, it is wrong to have no strength."
"Escaping to Lingxiao City should be better. At least I won't die in obscurity in the war. I heard that the court is recruiting soldiers, so I plan to give it a try."
It was dinner time and it was getting dark outside the window.
The wind has stopped, but the snow has not stopped.
There were more than twenty square tables in the spacious dining hall. Passengers who had been resting in the cabins came one after another and sat down in twos and threes. Almost all of them were martial artists from Longzhou and Qingzhou, and their families.
Some were discussing the world situation, full of ambition. Some are full of resentment and are very disappointed with the state of the world. Some remained silent and lost the energy to talk loudly.
The two middle-aged men sitting next to Li Weiyi were the leader and deputy leader of a gang in Longzhou. They were both top masters of the fourth and fifth seas in the Five Seas Realm, and they had a ruthless demeanor of licking blood on the edge of a knife.
The leader of the gang, He Gan, was a freak with wings growing out of his back. He sighed, "The entire Liangzhou is covered in weirdness. The imperial court has formed a large army and is demolishing tombs and destroying monuments everywhere, but every time they demolish one, another one rises up. I don't think there will be many good days left. Sooner or later, Ling Xiao will be swallowed up by the netherworld of the dead and turned into eternal darkness and deathly silence."
The deputy leader said, "They all say that it is the ghost realm of the dead that is causing trouble, but recently another voice has appeared. A month ago, an earthquake occurred in Fuzhou, and a transcendent person rushed out of the underground fairy palace. They all say that the underground fairy palace is the lair of a cult, and those rice people are planning something big."
He Gan's expression froze: "Who told you that?"
"Those people from the Taishi family said it this morning. They are well-informed and know a lot of secrets." said the deputy gang leader.
Beside him, Li Weiyi raised his glass and said with a smile, "I am Sikong Jingyuan of Qingzhou. What are your names?"
He Gan and Guo Zhensheng looked at each other, raised their glasses in response, and introduced their names respectively.
After some flattering greetings, Li Weiyi asked, "Deputy Gang Leader Guo just said that someone Chao Ran rushed out from the underground immortal palace. This is very strange. As far as I know, even the giants in the realm of immortality cannot enter."
Guo Zhensheng said: "This should be true. Several people from the Taishi family said that the entrance to the underground immortal palace was washed away, and the power of the transcendent level swept the world. Many people witnessed it with their own eyes. By the way, it is said that he might be a Buddhist. The Buddha's light is so strong that the land of Fuzhou is covered with golden clouds for thousands of miles."
Li Weiyi understood. It was most likely that the monk's skeleton had escaped. His fighting power was so terrifying that he could actually kill through the Rice Sect's headquarters and beat them out directly.
No wonder the Twin Rice Sect joined forces with the demon clan to attack Lingxiao City. After this incident, many things could no longer be hidden and had to be revealed.
I hope that Chanhai Guanwu and the three masters have taken the opportunity to escape from the underground fairy palace.
Li Weiyi asked again: "I see the flag with the Chinese character 'Sui' hanging on the bow. Could this post boat we are on be under the banner of Emperor Suizong?"
"Of course it's Sui Zong's ship." He Gan said.
Li Weiyi was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that Sui Zong's power had spread to Qujiang.
Wouldn’t it be possible to reach half of the world? Guo Zhensheng said: "After Sui Zong surrendered to the court, he was highly valued by the Second Palace Master, and through multiple marriages with the Jiang family, he has already established a firm foothold in the court. They took over all the water transport matters in the eight core states controlled by the court, including the current Longzhou and Qingzhou."
He Gan said: "The Sui clan is very lucky. After they surrendered to the imperial court, an epic war broke out, and then the major forces of the human race were forced to join forces to fight. As a result, the Sui clan's ships can sail freely throughout Lingxiao, and they have grown rapidly. It is said that the sect's disciples and gang members add up to hundreds of thousands, and all of them are martial arts experts."
Guo Zhensheng said: "Tang Wanzhou died in the underground immortal palace. After Zuo Qiuling issued the Jia Zi Book, Yao Qian broke through the realm of immortality. Now he is the first in the Jia Zi Book and was appointed as the Junior Secretary of the Attendant Palace by the Second Palace Master. His future is limitless."
He Gan sighed, "The entire Sui Sect has a spirit of striving for progress. With Yao Qian, there are already three giants in the Longevity Realm and a Holy Spirit Mind Master. When Yang breaks through the Divine Realm and becomes transcendent, it may become a sect with tens of millions of members in the future."
In the subsequent conversation, Li Weiyi learned that the two of them were going to Fuzhou to join Suizong.
This is the influence of the first "Jia Zi Ce". Yao Qian alone can attract countless heroes to join him.
The sky had completely darkened, and there were many villages on both sides of Qujiang River, with sporadic lights visible.
Li Weiyi carried the lunch box and prepared to return to the cabin.
Before he even walked out of the dining hall, he suddenly stopped and heard a noise. The next moment, on the deck outside, separated by a wall, there was a roar of the light veil of the formation being torn apart.
“Crash!”
The huge ship was shaking violently and the waves were surging.
One after another, heavy footsteps landed on the deck.
Li Weiyi noticed the fluctuation of Yizhuxue's magical energy and hurriedly picked up the lunch box and sat back in his original seat.
There were screams and chaos in the dining hall.
Several martial artists who were proud of their powerful abilities rushed out of the dining hall and went to check.
The next moment.
Screams were heard outside, and all the martial artists who had just rushed out fell to the ground and died.
"Have we encountered the Three Island barbarians? They even dare to rob the ship of Sui Zong?" Guo Zhensheng was extremely nervous. He knew the people who rushed out just now. They were all famous masters of Longzhou, but they were killed without even the strength to fight back.
Two Dao Seed Realm masters from the patrol guards walked into the dining hall, both wearing loose black robes, masks with Blood Valley patterns, holding magical sickles, their eyes emitting emerald green light, scanning everyone inside, looking for something.
"It's a cult...ah..."
A young girl in purple whispered a sentence and was killed by one of the black-robed masters who pierced her brain with his eyes. The emerald green light in his pupils can condense into a physical flying sword, capable of killing people from a distance.
The whole dining hall was filled with desolation.
Everyone was so scared that they lowered their heads, their calves trembled, and they dared not breathe.
Li Weiyi lowered his head like everyone else, but a cold light flashed in his pupils. It was clear that these people were out to chase him, and that the woman had died in vain because he had hidden on the boat.
Everything just happened too fast, and Li Weiyi underestimated their ruthlessness and was unable to stop them in time.
Moreover, when Yi Zhuxue and the patrol guards were looking for him, they might have killed quite a few people on other ships.
They do not regard humans as fellow human beings, but as grass and cattle.
