The appearance of the demonic dragon created a shocking scene that lingered in the hearts of people both inside and outside the city, a mixture of awe and fear.
Calm people, naive people, wise people, people who have taken life and death lightly—at this moment, they all share the same expression, their eyes wide open, forgetting even the fear of death. Before them lies only this unseen, indistinct fragment.
As the dark clouds dissipated, the earth-shattering, overwhelming clouds slowly vanished before my eyes, and only then did my heart, which had been pounding wildly, begin to calm down.
Then came the waterspout, an unparalleled spectacle of towering waves that left my brain reeling and unable to process what was happening.
Yan Zhanyi, Yue Yuan, Lin Bo, and the others looked at the situation in the distance, which was difficult to see clearly, with worried eyes. It was truly the work of a demonic beast.
With the Holy Emperor gone, rampant tyranny and oppression have slowly begun to rise again. The tyranny and tyranny are rampant, forcing good people into prostitution and openly and boldly destroying families for wealth. Now, they are stirring up trouble and causing chaos, leaving behind a scene of devastation.
The demonic tiger, demonic wolf, and demonic monkey, from a distance, look like a small hill. If they were to attack the city, how many of us would be able to escape?
Looking at his family and fellow disciples who had come with him, he felt extremely nervous, and his worry was palpable.
Uncle Lin chuckled softly, "If we can't be born together, then we'll be buried together in death. There's nothing to regret then."
Master Yue Yuan smiled immediately, his heart easing slightly. He said softly, "Uncle Lin is quite magnanimous. With the Ancestor here, we should be safe."
Yan Zhanyi nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Today, heroes from all around have gathered. The construction of a city has never been easy since ancient times. It is said that when a city is built, the earth's veins will change direction, which will naturally cause other living beings to feel uncomfortable."
Especially for highly cultivated demonic beasts and ghosts, the effects were even more pronounced; the fact that many evil spirits wreaked havoc when the city was first built seems to be true.
He sighed inwardly. When the Holy Emperor was alive, although there were always minor demons and evil spirits causing trouble, the overall situation was still stable. The yamen runners and landlords still had a sense of fear. But now, they themselves had also come to this place.
With such natural talent, one can only place their hopes on future generations.
In Huangtu County, on the official road, the carriage sped towards the border town ahead.
Xiao Yang, who was rushing to catch the train, also looked anxious.
Inside the carriage, Gui Sanlang said loudly, "Little Yang, don't worry, we're definitely late today. They arrived yesterday. We're definitely late."
Xiao Yang slowed down his hurried pace as he drove the carriage, the wind whistling, and could only shout, "Sir, that matter is still just a rumor, we are definitely going to be late today."
"It's a big event for you to move; it wouldn't be good if we were late."
Inside the carriage, Gui San whispered to Shuangshuang beside him, "I'll go ahead first; you rest for a while."
Both nodded obediently. They wore new peach-colored cotton-padded jackets and had rosy complexions.
Gui San stepped out of the carriage and looked at the city that was still out of sight in the distance. Just as he was about to speak, he saw dark clouds covering the sky in the distance, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring.
It was clearly pouring rain, with dark clouds heading straight in their direction—it was incredibly eerie, especially since it wasn't the height of summer. The rapid, urgent sound of the rain seemed to be right in front of them.
His eyes shifted slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yang, stop the car."
"Ah, yes, sir." Xiao Yang struggled to stop the carriage, and all the other carriages heading to the border city around him stopped as well.
Some of the carriages in the distance began to turn back and leave.
Seeing a carriage heading back, Xiao Yang quickly asked, "Brother, what happened up ahead? Why are they all coming back?"
The driver, wearing a straw hat and looking worried, was hurrying back when he heard the voice. He noticed Xiao Yang's attire and realized he was an acquaintance from Huangtu County.
Without stopping the carriage, he loudly replied, "Lord Yang, someone ahead said that demonic beasts are attacking the city. We have no choice but to leave. If Lord Yang has no urgent business, you may also depart."
After speaking, he glanced at the goods on the carriage. If he abandoned them, the carriage would run faster, but he couldn't bear to part with them.
Upon hearing this, Gui San's eyes flashed with decisiveness as he said, "Xiao Yang, you take Shuangshuang back first. I'll be right back."
Inside the carriage, Shuangshuang heard the voice of her elder brother driving the carriage, and then she heard her husband's voice. She lifted the curtain of the carriage door and took Gui San's hand.
Her eyes were resolute as she looked at Gui San, 'Husband, I want to go with you. If there's any danger, kill me first.'
His eyes were resolute and unwavering, showing no sign of retreat. A raging storm raged in the distance; the journey was uncertain, yet he never wanted to be separated again. Even if death were to occur, being with his beloved would be better than enduring endless longing.
My heart is too short to carry a carriage; one person is only enough to love one person.
Gui San's eyes reddened slightly. He was about to explain when he looked into his lover's unwavering gaze and nodded gently.
Xiao Yang anxiously and firmly replied, "Sir, I'll drive the carriage. I want to go with you so we can look after each other."
Gui San said in a deep voice, "Little Yang, you go ahead with the carriage. You're still young."
Xiao Yang shook his head firmly, "Sir, Xiao Yang will always follow you. You have taught us the principles of being a good person. I am a good person and will never go back."
Please allow me to accompany you, sir. If anything untoward happens, I, Yang, will have no complaints whatsoever.
Gui San shook his head and sighed, then nodded heavily. "Alright, let's hurry over. I believe in your abilities, sir. If anything untoward happens, I'd rather die today with you than betray your trust."
He sighed inwardly, knowing he was still alive, so the master must be safe. He had to go.
"Yes, sir, hold on tight." Xiao Yang cracked the whip and sped up the carriage, which quickly headed towards the border city.
Along the way, the number of returning carriages gradually increased, while a few scattered carriages sped towards the border city.
Gui San examined the carriage closely; it was ordinary, and he couldn't tell which family it belonged to. It seemed like a regular carriage.
In front of the carriage, the person was dressed like an ordinary person.
They watched as Gui San and his group drove quickly towards the city. After staring at them for a long time, one of them clasped his hands and said loudly, "Greetings, Lord Gui San! I am from Weijia Village."
Gui San smiled slightly, everything understood without words, nodded, and loudly clasped his hands in a fist salute, replying, "Your subordinate, Gui San. We're here together."
The person opposite him clasped his hands in a fist salute again, his face flushed with excitement, and loudly proclaimed, "Fellow traveler!"
Sunlight streamed down here, but before us grew ever closer a violent storm, with lightning and thunder, as if the end of the world was approaching.
Time flew by quickly, and the carriage arrived at the city gate. The city guards were on guard, and the carriage could not enter without permission.
Gui San and the arriving carriage crew waited quietly.
Gazing into the distance, I saw the dark clouds disperse, and a colossal creature descended from the sky. Then came an earthquake-like tremor, a cataclysmic event that left me utterly stunned and forgetting where I was.
