Chapter 204 - New Features
"Who is it?! How dare you break into the city lord..." The fat city lord rushed out surrounded by a group of guards, roaring in a timid voice, but he didn't finish his words!
The huge body of the Iron Ox fell in front of the mansion gate like a meteorite, and the Guixu Dragon Spine Hammer hit it hard!
The ground cracked! Waves of wind surged! Those burly guards were instantly thrown to the ground!
"Guixu Sect is doing business! All outsiders, get out!" Tie Niu's roar was like thunder!
Almost at the same time!
Xie Zhao's Jinghong Talisman Pen pointed out! Several golden "Breaking Array Talismans" were like meteors, accurately bombarding the nodes of the City Lord's Mansion's defensive array!
The seemingly solid formation shattered in an instant like paper!
Luo Hongyi's figure was like a red whirlwind of death, swept into the guards who tried to resist!
Wherever the dark green poisonous fog passed, the guards fell down in groups like cut wheat, unable even to scream. Their bodies became stiff and they lost the ability to move, with only fear in their eyes!
Chu Linyuan took a step forward and appeared in front of the obese city lord who was so scared that he collapsed on the ground and wet his pants.
The cold eyes were like looking at a dead person.
He didn't even use the Frost Silence Sword, but just put his fingers together like a sword, and a condensed black ice finger wind instantly pierced through the city lord's Dantian Qi Sea!
Abolish his cultivation! Cut off his foundation!
"Ah——!" The city lord let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered and fainted.
The battle, or rather the crushing defeat, ended in just a few breaths.
Chu Linyuan didn't even look at the waste on the ground and walked straight to the treasury.
Xie Zhao followed closely behind, and the talisman puppets surged out like a tide, and began to quickly count the supplies.
When the door of the treasury was forced open, even Xie Zhao, who had seen a lot of the world, gasped!
There were mountains of spiritual grains, dried meat, boxes of gold and silver, and even quite a few low-level magic tools and cultivation materials!
It formed a shocking contrast with the famine scene outside the city!
"Beast!" Xie Zhao cursed and immediately began to command the talisman puppets to move the things. "Take everything away! Don't leave a single grain of rice for this termite!"
Guixu landed directly in the city lord's mansion.
Large amounts of food, cloth and medicine were quickly loaded onto the ship.
Chu Linyuan found the city lord's account books and tokens, and swept his cold eyes over the files that recorded evidence of exploitation.
Soon, Guixu took off again and flew directly to the area where disaster victims gathered outside the city.
Xie Zhao used talismans to amplify his voice, and it spread clearly in all directions:
"Fellow villagers! The corrupt officials who exploited you have been eradicated by our Guixu Sect! All their illegal gains will now be returned to you!"
"Tie Niu! Junior Sister Luo! Su Tang! Let's get to work!"
The huge iron pot was set up, and the sweet aroma of rice porridge instantly filled the air!
The talisman puppets began to distribute food, water and medicine in an orderly manner!
Although Luo Hongyi looked disgusted, he still kept a cold face and used precise poison techniques to help some seriously ill people temporarily suppress their illness.
Tie Niu's huge body became the best guarantee for maintaining order. He clumsily but carefully helped the elderly and children serve porridge.
Su Tang's photo stone faithfully recorded all of this. She said excitedly, "See? This is what a cultivator should do!"
Chu Linyuan stood quietly aside, still wearing his black clothes, but he was no longer the terrifying evil spirit, but a symbol of vitality and hope.
He would occasionally take action, using the pure black ice evil energy to condense clean ice cubes, or help some seriously injured people temporarily stop the pain.
Countless people knelt on the ground, kowtowed and thanked, with tears streaming down their faces.
"Guixu Sect! It's the Immortal Master of Guixu Sect!"
"Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving my life!"
"God has opened his eyes!"
This scene was repeated several times on the way to Yunhuang Province.
Each time, the local bullies and corrupt officials were eliminated with lightning speed, and then the granaries were opened to distribute grain to provide relief to the victims.
"Guixuhao" is like a messenger of justice. Wherever it passes, filth is washed away and life begins to revive.
The reputation of Guixu Sect is no longer limited to the world of cultivation, but is also spread among countless ordinary people, with immense gratitude and admiration.
In those eyes that were once numb and desperate, hope for life was rekindled, and the three words "Guixu Sect" were deeply imprinted.
When the "Guixu" set sail again, the atmosphere on the ship was different.
Still solemn, but with a bit more solidity and righteousness.
Xie Zhao looked at the people below who were waving goodbye with tears in their eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Brother, although this delayed our trip a bit, it was a pleasure to do this!"
Chu Linyuan's gaze swept across the gradually shrinking figures and fell into the distance.
The cold profile seemed to soften a little in the sunset.
He said lightly:
“Wherever the Tao leads, it will go, no matter how far it is.”
The atmosphere on the boat was completely different from when they left the God Burial Abyss.
There is less eagerness to try than a rookie, but more of a heavy sense of responsibility and the calmness that comes from having experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Xie Zhao no longer slumped in the recliner all day, but took out the animal skin paper and Jinghong Talisman Pen more frequently, planning how to allocate limited resources more reasonably to those villages in need of help. He even began to design some simple water purification talismans and fertile soil talismans suitable for mortals to use.
"Brother, do you think this simplified version of the Rain-Transforming Talisman can be widely promoted? Although the effect is a bit weak, it can at least make more things grow in the fields..."
Chu Linyuan would occasionally glance at his drawings and give some cold but always to-the-point advice.
Most of the time, he just quietly looked at Xie Zhao's focused profile, watching the light flashing in his peach blossom eyes for those mortals he had never met before, and a trace of extremely imperceptible tenderness would pass through the depths of his cold eyes.
His arms would still naturally wrap around Xie Zhao when he rubbed his waist, transferring the warm and nurturing evil spirit to him, but his movements were more cherishing than before.
Tie Niu seemed to have calmed down a bit. Although he would still circle around Luo Hongyi with eager eyes, more often he would hold the Guixu Dragon Spine, recalling the scenes when he had suppressed bullies before, and thinking about how to swing the hammer to more effectively deter the villains without actually killing them.
He even started boasting to the few new, slightly braver outer disciples who had just come aboard: "Follow Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother...that's right! Beat up the bad guys! It's awesome!"
Luo Hongyi is still sharp-tongued, but when preparing pills, he will deliberately separate out some medicinal powders with milder effects that are suitable for mortals to strengthen their constitution.
Whenever Tie Niu took out the Baijie Dan she gave him and wiped it like he was presenting a treasure, she would still snort and say, "Stupid cow, don't wipe off the effect of the medicine," but she no longer directly threw the poisonous mist away like before.
The biggest change is Su Tang.
After the live broadcast ended that day, she did not chatter and share her reward income as usual, but sat cross-legged alone at the bow of the boat, with her psychic eyes closed, and the Star Attraction Order in front of her emitted an unprecedented, brilliant light like a vortex in the galaxy.
The immense power of wishes gathered together like substance, flowing around her body.
After a long time, she suddenly opened her eyes, and it seemed as if billions of stars were born and died in her psychic eyes!
She jumped up excitedly, her voice changing tone: "Senior Brother! Second Senior Brother! Family! I...I think...I've activated a new function!"
Everyone was startled by her and looked over.
