Chapter 372: Kind Monk Shi, Deputy Leader
Taoist Buyu and the Minister of Justice were looking Venerable Natural Disaster up and down when they heard a light and very familiar voice coming from behind, which startled both of them and made them shudder.
"Master, Lord Shangshu, long time no see."
"It's you!" Seeing the figure that had brought him to this point, Venerable Natural Disaster screamed in horror and crawled forward desperately.
Taoist Buyu and the Minister of Justice looked at Venerable Natural Disaster with squinted eyes, wondering why this old guy's reaction was even greater than theirs.
Both of them were smart people and they immediately figured out the reason: this man was being hunted by Yunzhi and had fled all the way here. He wanted to use the eerie atmosphere of the prison to cover himself, but was caught by the two of them.
"If my guess is correct, this person is a natural disaster master in the middle period of the Dayu Dynasty. He took advantage of the Qingzhou ceremony to order two ancient fusion-stage masters to riot, forcing the governor of Qingzhou to use the national destiny and the Supreme Sword Shadow to fight, in order to obtain intelligence."
"Fortunately, Junior Brother was alert and noticed something was wrong with the two ancient fusion-stage warriors. He informed me in time, and I was able to capture him."
"If he passes the information about the country's destiny and the Supreme Sword to other ancient cultivators, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble."
"I was wondering why it was strange. How could an unfamiliar cultivator in the fusion stage suddenly appear? It turns out he is from the ancient fusion stage!" The Minister of Justice looked at the Venerable Natural Disaster and gritted his teeth.
Taoist Bu Yu stopped laughing and said that the difficulties faced by Da Xia were caused by the ancient monks.
Yunzhi narrowed her eyes slightly, this was the second time she caught an ancient cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Prior to this, she and the other four masters of the five major immortal sects and Emperor Xia reached a consensus that the ancient cultivators would awaken one by one as time went by. Those awakening now were in the Fusion Stage, and those who would awaken in the future were in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
But judging from the behavior of this ancient Tribulation Crossing cultivator, he already knew about the country's destiny and the Supreme Sword, and must have awakened very early.
"It seems that there are many ancient monks hiding in places we don't know about." Yun Zhi's cold tone revealed a hint of displeasure. This group of people with dull talents have to calculate time and plan many things to become immortals, which brings disasters to the world.
The body of the Venerable Natural Disaster looked emaciated and he was barely breathing, as if he would die at any time. Yun Zhi saw him like this and lightly tapped with her index finger, pulling out the soul of the Venerable Natural Disaster.
It will be much more convenient to bring the soul back.
It is better to have a soul than a body that is on the verge of collapse.
Yunzhi was pulling an invisible chain with her right hand, at the other end of which was the bound Lord Natural Disaster.
"By the way, Master, Lord Shangshu, your capture of the Lord of Natural Disasters is a great achievement. I will inform Emperor Xia about this." Yunzhi suddenly said before leaving.
The two were stunned at first, and then overjoyed. This great achievement was enough to get them out of prison.
They thought they were going to miss their chance to be released from prison.
…
"Where can I find the ancient monks to take revenge?" Deputy Sect Leader Shi pondered. He would take revenge whenever he had a grudge and would never wait until the next day.
"My fellow Daoist is of high character and integrity. He is determined to find ancient monks. I admire him!" A hearty laugh was heard, filled with joy.
Deputy Sect Leader Shi felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. He turned his head and his eyelids twitched. It was the governor.
The governor clasped his fists to Deputy Master Shi and said sincerely, "I don't know who you are or what your name is, but you have taken advantage of the opportunity to survive the thunder tribulation to seriously injure the Heavenly Disaster Venerable. This is indeed a great achievement. Please come back with me. I will definitely reward you. Afterwards, I will submit a petition to the court to award you a prize!"
Like Yunzhi, the governor of the state had been following the Natural Disaster Venerable, but he was not as fast as Yunzhi and did not see the whole process.
When he arrived, Deputy Patriarch Shi was pulling Venerable Natural Disaster through a thunder tribulation. Venerable Natural Disaster tried to escape many times, but was stopped by Deputy Patriarch Shi. Deputy Patriarch Shi was even laughing with a gloating look on his face. It was obvious from what he heard that Deputy Patriarch Shi had a grudge against Venerable Natural Disaster. After the thunder tribulation, Deputy Patriarch Shi even tied up Venerable Natural Disaster, fearing that he would run away.
The governor imagined the following scene in his mind: Deputy Sect Leader Shi was a reclusive cultivator who was undergoing a thunder tribulation in a deserted place. He noticed that Venerable Natural Disaster had a strong smell of blood and had committed many evil deeds, so he used the thunder tribulation to force him to stay.
What a kind person! The governor was deeply moved and immediately expressed his willingness to stay and reward Deputy Master Shi.
Deputy Master Shi shook his head repeatedly. How could he dare to follow the governor? If the governor found out his identity, wouldn't he be promoted to a higher rank? This was not what he said, it was recorded on the bounty list.
"You are too polite, Governor. I just can't stand these ancient monks who have no regard for the law and commit crimes, so I am punishing them. As for the reward, it is unreasonable to ask for reward for doing good deeds. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Goodbye!"
After saying this, he left in a hurry, without giving the governor a chance to stay.
The governor looked at the disappearing Deputy Master Shi and sighed sincerely: "He is truly a hermit monk of great virtue."
…
At the Qingzhou ceremony, two ancient masters of the fusion stage have been captured, their cultivation sealed, and they are being guarded by several masters of the fusion stage in turns. The court will soon send the Luoshui Guards to take these two ancient masters of the fusion stage away, remove their meridians, and put them in the Heavenly Prison.
Officials performed their duties and maintained order. In the absence of the governor, Xia Qun was the person with the highest position. He sat in the government office, dispatched orders and gave commands, and everything was being restored in an orderly manner.
Although it is called recovery, the impact of this incident is not material, but more of a mental shock.
The ancient fusion period, national destiny, the phantom of the Supreme Sword, the ancient tribulation period, the mysterious power that can easily suppress the tribulation period... these are not something that ordinary cultivators can access.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even Lan Ting and others were in a daze and hadn't come to their senses.
Lu Yang didn't react much. What was the Tribulation Period in ancient times? In his spiritual space, he had the first immortal of ancient times and the first of the Ten Beauties of ancient times. He often talked about ancient secrets and involved immortals. The Tribulation Period was not even on his list.
He heard passers-by talking about what had just happened.
"It's a good thing that that great man took action, otherwise we would be in danger." A Jindan stage cultivator was thankful. He almost thought he was going to die. He now felt very lucky to be alive.
His companion agreed with his point of view, the fear in his eyes still not completely gone: "Who said it wasn't true? Come to think of it, what did that great man look like?"
"You have forgotten what your savior looks like... Yeah, what does that powerful person look like, is he a man or a woman?"
The two looked at each other, confused and puzzled.
Passersby on the other side were also discussing the battle that had just happened.
"Lord Governor is really amazing. He can resist the Tribulation-level magic weapon all by himself."
"That's nothing. The governor almost killed that ancient Tribulation Stage cultivator. Especially that sword move, it was incredible!"
"Sword? What sword?"
"With your brain, what is the sword made of?"
"By the way, what weapon did the governor use to defeat the ancient fusion stage?"
The two were filled with questions and soon forgot what had just happened.
Lu Yang frowned as he watched this scene, recalling in his mind the national destiny, the shadow of the Supreme Sword, the senior sister... he remembered them clearly.
"Fairy, what's going on?"
