Chapter 29: Heavenly Demon Angry Face

Heavenly Demon Angry Face

"Shopkeeper Wen, this is my Senior Brother Liu—Senior Brother, this is Shopkeeper Wen of the Zhengqi Firm. During this time in Altar City, Changyuan and Shuangcheng have been well taken care of by Shopkeeper Wen."

"Brother Lu, what are you saying? Elder Liu, nice to meet you, nice to meet you, greetings, greetings."

"Shopkeeper Wen, greetings." Elder Liu bowed his hands. He didn't show an arrogant attitude because Shopkeeper Wen's cultivation was weaker, but asked, "Shopkeeper Wen, are you also planning to leave the city temporarily?"

"Exactly," the old shopkeeper looked back at the small caravan he led and sighed, "It's time to go out and get goods—Brother Lu, Elder Liu, where do you plan to go? I'm afraid our escape speeds are different, so we can't go the same way."

Elder Lu said, "We are going to find the caravan, and then decide where to go."

He couldn't help but sigh, "I just hope they are safe and sound, otherwise the business talked about in Altar City for the past few months will all be in vain."

The old shopkeeper smiled bitterly, "Brother Lu, look around. Even if your sect's cargo team is safe and sound, how can this business continue? And where should we go to find people?"

What he said was reasonable. The Altar City pier is now full of people, and everyone is queuing up to wait for the zip line to hang people up and down—originally, cultivators came and went to Altar City by magic tools, but the space storm in the Lu Kingdom just passed a few days ago, and no one can tell where there are still cracks in the sky. In addition, most of those who want to leave Altar City now are merchants who have brought all their inventory and are preparing to move temporarily. They have many storage magic tools on them, which are easy to cause space distortion, and they dare not fly around with magic tools, so as not to encounter space cracks and end up with a dead body.

The Zhengqi Firm is like this, taking all the assistants in the shop. The old shopkeeper's waist is bulging, obviously carrying many storage magic tools, and he is holding a black and white cat in his hand, walking almost staggeringly, not like the four people of the Taibai Sword Sect, who are at least Foundation Establishment cultivation, have nothing, and have Elder Liu, a Core Formation cultivator, to protect them, so they don't have to wait for this long line of zip lines, and can just fly down from the pier.

If it were someone else, they would just exchange pleasantries and break up here, but the Zhengqi Firm is where Ruan Ci came from, and it is different from others. Elder Liu pondered for a while, gave Elder Lu a wink, and Elder Lu understood, and said to the old shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper Wen, when will this wait end? Look at Junping Mansion isolated outside the city, and all other floating islands of the great sects are not parallel to it. Maybe they will fight at any time. Since we met here today, I can't leave you, an old friend, behind. It just so happens that my Senior Brother brought a magic boat, so let's squeeze in and go down to the ground to be safe."

That day, Master Zhou Yanqing of the Shangqing Sect brought back the Ruan clan bloodline, and Altar City was very lively. The gambling game ended with this result, and I don't know how many people lost everything. But everyone was too late to sigh, and they all hit it off, secretly going back to pack their bags. As soon as the storm subsided, the zip lines in the city were transporting people and goods day and night—everyone is not stupid. The Ruan clan bloodline appeared in the Lu Kingdom, and the Lu Kingdom was beaten into that appearance. Altar City and this area were affected so seriously thousands of miles away. I don't dare to imagine what the Lu Kingdom is like now. An altar city in the air, and it is the weakest place in the South Zhuzhou array. If the Central Continent cultivators fight in Altar City, won't the whole city be smashed to pieces?

"This group of plague gods from the Central Continent, if they want to fight, why don't they go back to the Central Continent and fight?"

"Alas, the Heavenly Boat is hiding for the time being, they can't even leave, how can they go back to the Central Continent?"

Ever since Xie Yanhuan fell into South Zhuzhou, South Zhuzhou has not been truly peaceful for seven hundred years. When the three countries were blocked, local cultivators could pretend to be deaf and dumb. Now that it is their turn, they are naturally complaining, and some people are whimsical, "If the Dao Palace comes forward and invites cave heaven cultivators to buffer, I don't know if they can be peaceful, at least don't break Altar City, otherwise, where will we do business?"

He hasn't said any dream talk like "take advantage of the Heavenly Boat's absence and ask cave heaven cultivators to kill one or two Central Continent cultivators," but everyone looked at him coldly and ridiculed, "We have cave heaven, doesn't the Central Continent have it?"

"This fellow, I advise you not to talk too much, so as not to bring disaster upon yourself. The cave heaven ancestors of the Central Continent haven't arrived yet, which is already polite. Even if Altar City is broken, what does it count? Don't you know about the South Yin Continent?"

Speaking of the South Yin Continent, the pier couldn't help but be quiet. The man sneered, "It's not even ten thousand years, and you've forgotten? The cave heavens fought each other and lived to sink the South Yin Continent. At that time, what the Shangqing Sect brought was not the Wind Wave Flat Chime, but the Wind Wave Rising Bell. That bell sound still echoes above the ruins of the South Yin Continent. How do you know that the Nascent Soul Venerable brought by the Heavenly Boat this time is not the result of the mediation of our South Zhuzhou cave heaven?"

Someone in the crowd said softly, "If the cave heaven Venerable wants to come, he doesn't need to take the Heavenly Boat. Each great sect has many space magic treasures, such as the Shangqing Sect's One Qi Cloud Sail. If the cave heaven Venerable takes the One Qi Cloud Sail, it will take a few months from the Central Continent to here."

For the cultivation world, a few months is just a fleeting moment. If the cave heaven ancestor wants to come to South Zhuzhou to find trouble, what can South Zhuzhou do? Everyone's face was a bit ugly, and I don't know who said, "Let's go quickly, talk less, the big things of the Nascent Soul and cave heaven ancestors, can we juniors discuss them at will?"

"Yes, yes, let's go quickly, let's go quickly. Whoever has spiritual materials, can build another zip line, I am willing to pay half the capital, just ask for the second trip."

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the low-level cultivators, many Core Formation cultivators flew down with magic tools. Looking down from the sky, the altar city below, the roads extending in all directions were also crowded with pedestrians, like ants walking out. Shopkeeper Wen sighed on the deck of the magic boat, "So many people, where should they go?"

"That is naturally snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths. If there is no foundation, that is the difficulty. If you want to go, you can't go." Elder Lu said beside him, seeing Shopkeeper Wen worried, he said, "We are also an acquaintance. Old Wen, if you have nowhere to go, why don't you follow us to the Flowing Dream Swamp to avoid it for a while? If the business is good there, the Sword Sect also has some foundation in the Flowing Dream Swamp, and helping you is not a big deal. If the business is not very good, wait a few years before coming back to open, isn't it also cheap?"

There are many swamps in South Zhuzhou, each with its own wonders. For example, the Nether Miasma Swamp where Tai Shi Yi fell is a famous dangerous place in South Zhuzhou. Legend has it that the deep part of the swamp leads directly to the Netherworld, and it was once the place where the Netherworld Off-Fire Dao Ancestor incarnated to preach. This Flowing Dream Swamp is not far from Altar City, and it naturally generates a large array to protect it, which is suitable for the current situation. Shopkeeper Wen hesitated for a moment, bowed his hands and said, "Ashamed, I have to be thick-skinned and take refuge under your sect."

Elder Lu naturally comforted and gathered him. Huan Changyuan was impatient and walked to Shopkeeper Wen and asked, "Shopkeeper, has Little Ci sent any letters back?"

He frowned and looked at Altar City, "I don't know if she was injured in this storm. If she died, that would be a pity."

Elder Lu and Shopkeeper Wen didn't speak. Elder Liu coughed and said, "Shopkeeper Wen, don't worry too much. The Central Continent sects are not just robbers who only know how to fight and kill. Since the Shangqing Sect brought two cave heaven spiritual treasures and grabbed the Ruan clan bloodline among many Nascent Soul cultivators, then this account should be recognized by all sects. Besides, I don't know if this Ruan clan bloodline is really a sword seed. If too many people die for this, it's not worth it for them."

"That's true."

Everyone changed the subject and talked about the movements of the great sects of the Central Continent. Shopkeeper Wen said, "Just a few days ago, I heard people at the pier say that there is another Ruan clan bloodline in the Liang Kingdom—some people say that the Donghua Sword stabilizes luck, and the whereabouts are inseparable from the royal family, and the Donghua Sword Envoy is actually the Crown Prince of the Song Kingdom."

"The great sects that came this time, the Shangqing Sect has already won a Ruan clan bloodline, so that counts as falling into their own bet. The remaining disciples will not go to grab it again," Elder Liu said. "If they don't grab it anymore, then they probably won't fight fiercely. This can be regarded as a tacit understanding of the great sects. You can't fight a continent half-disabled for a Donghua Sword. This is not a way to live."

Everyone in the boat was born and raised in South Zhuzhou, so how could they not care about their own continent? Hearing this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Dong Shuangcheng put her hands together, bowed a few times, and said, "Dao Ancestor bless, don't fight anymore. I haven't seen the sword, but how many people have died."

Elder Lu looked at her, thinking that these people in the seat can't be considered 'haven't seen the sword', but of course, this is not easy to say, just said, "Everyone gets a disciple, who is the real sword envoy, only the sect that got the treasure knows in their heart. If you ask me, it's not clear who is the sword envoy until you return to your own mountain gate. However, there are only a few sword envoys in the legend, but seven or eight great sects have come. Someone will always be empty-handed. I am afraid that the fight before this disciple worships the master will continue, and even the journey of the Heavenly Boat back to the Central Continent will be undercurrents, and there will be no day without things. Shuangcheng, Changyuan, your luck is not very good. You encountered such a big event when you went down the mountain for the first time. Now the situation of the continent is not suitable for traveling. When you arrive at the Flowing Dream Swamp, see if the space is stable, and send you back to the mountain gate first."

Huan Changyuan and Dong Shuangcheng were naturally unwilling, but Elder Liu had the same meaning, and they couldn't disobey. The magic boat left Altar City far away, and it went faster and faster. After a few days, it bypassed a mountain col and saw a boundless thick fog behind the mountain. Occasionally, bird shadows jumped in the fog. The magic boat made a turn and fell into the thick fog. The Flowing Dream Swamp arrived.

#

Everyone settled down in the Flowing Dream Swamp, which was finally more at ease than in Altar City. Because this place is too close to Altar City, and the space is unstable at this time, it is not suitable for cultivators below Core Formation to fly. Many low-level cultivators have come here, and the city is soon overcrowded, but because of this, there is constant fresh news. The Taibai Sword Sect people are here as if they were in Altar City, and the actions of all sects are as if they were in front of them: the Shangqing Sect won the first prize and grabbed a Ruan clan orphan girl first. The great sects are not willing to be left behind. Wangyou Temple collected the Ruan clan son in the Liang Kingdom, the Song Kingdom Crown Prince worshipped the Liuming Hall, and many disciples calculated by divination were grabbed by various sects.

None of these disciples were collected peacefully. The spiritual energy in the direction of the Liang Kingdom and the Song Kingdom was also chaotic enough to be scary. Fortunately, the cloud fog array naturally generated by the Flowing Dream Swamp is extremely mysterious, transforming between virtual and real, and can smooth out the spiritual energy turbulence. It is different from Altar City, which is high in the air. Everyone in the Flowing Dream Swamp is much more stable than in Altar City. Only one point is not very good—the spiritual energy is so unstable, flying is inconvenient, and Shuangcheng and Changyuan cannot go back for a while.

More than a year has passed, and the Central Continent Heavenly Boat has not yet returned, but the fighting of the great sects seems to have come to an end. The situation in Altar City has gradually eased from the tension after the Lu Kingdom war. Some bold merchants have returned to do business, but the old shopkeeper is steady and still refuses to return, waiting for the Central Continent's bad guests to leave. "I heard that Junping Mansion is still isolated outside Altar City, and all disciples only enter but not go out, so this matter is far from over."

Since the Heavenly Boat docked, nearly two years have passed. The Heavenly Boat set a three-year period to return, and this period cannot be easily changed. Many traveling disciples have returned, and many have brought new disciples. Although the South Zhuzhou cultivators hate the Central Continent cultivators, they are very envious of these lucky ones, saying they are fish jumping over the dragon gate. The cave dwellings of each great sect are opened with restrictions, and the disciples are collected into them, each occupying a corner of the sky, forming a confrontation. Among them, the precaution of Junping Mansion is the most obvious, as if it is very tight about the Ruan clan orphan girl.

When there were three months left before the return period, the shadow of the giant turtle in the sky was already looming, and Altar City still didn't fight. The hearts of the South Zhuzhou cultivators finally fell into their stomachs, but they hadn't fallen very much, always mentioning a little bit. The old shopkeeper went to the Dao Palace every day to check the South Zhuzhou Spiritual Shadow Map—this is a magic treasure that reflects the spiritual energy of South Zhuzhou. From the clarity and turbidity of the spiritual shadow, you can see the stability of the local spiritual energy. The spiritual shadow of the Lu Kingdom area has been dark black since a year ago, and it only started to fade slowly today, which shows the tragedy of the battle at that time.

"The spiritual energy of the Song Kingdom has gradually become clear, hmph... the spiritual energy that has been chaotic for seven hundred years is recovering quickly now. The Liang Kingdom is also okay. After a few fights in the past few years, it has accelerated the sorting of spiritual energy, which can be considered some benefits."

He looked at it one by one, and saw that all places were still peaceful, except for the Nether Miasma Swamp area, which was probably the peak year of the Nether Miasma, the color was light yellow. This color means that it is best for cultivators below the Core Formation stage not to go there. The spiritual energy in this place is not flat. If the cultivation is not enough, even cultivation is very dangerous. Absorbing chaotic spiritual energy into the body is very harmful to cultivators. However, the Nether Miasma Swamp is extremely dangerous, and the old shopkeeper has never been there while walking in South Zhuzhou. He stroked the small cat in his arms and smiled, "Let's go back after reading."

When he was about to turn around, the kitten suddenly 'meowed', struggled out of his arms, and jumped to the edge of the Nether Miasma Swamp. The old shopkeeper looked closely and his expression changed. He hurriedly called the Dao Palace deacon and said urgently, "Not good! The spiritual energy of the Nether Miasma Swamp has changed suddenly, I'm afraid something big has happened, we must guard against the spiritual energy storm!"

Cultivators can look at Qi, but the Nether Miasma Swamp is too far away, beyond the sensing range, and spiritual tools are more reliable. In an instant, the spiritual energy of the Nether Miasma Swamp turned from light yellow to dark red. At this time, it was dripping with bright red, as if it would turn black at any time. If it turned dark black, it could be imagined that there must be a spiritual energy storm sweeping the whole continent, and even the space would be broken. The Dao Palace deacon's face also changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked the protector to assign tasks, and asked suspiciously, "I haven't heard that there is news of sword seeds there. The Nether Miasma Swamp is too far from Altar City. How could the Central Continent people run there?"

Just as the loopholes in the natural array of the Flowing Dream Swamp were protected, everyone felt a gust of wind blowing, and a noisy scratching sound rang in their ears, as if some fierce beast was screaming and flying back and forth over their heads, making people feel extremely disgusted and fearful. This sound flashed by, but many Qi Refining servants were already vomiting. The deacon was shocked, "What, it arrived here so quickly from the Nether Miasma Swamp?"

The old shopkeeper was also extremely irritable in his heart. He used his spiritual energy to turn in his heart, and then he calmed down a little, saying, "Otherwise, this is the means of the Demon Sect. The Demon Sect's heart method is the most mysterious. I think someone is performing magic in the Nether Miasma Swamp, and we are just paying attention to the changes in the spiritual energy of the local area through the spiritual shadow map, and a trace of induction was established in the dark, so we were affected by the aftermath of the supernatural power. At this time, the heart and mind are chaotic, the induction is broken, and there is no follow-up—but this person can capture such a subtle cause and effect, which shows that the cultivation is deep, not what ordinary Nascent Soul can reach, I am afraid it is infinitely close to the cave heaven."

The deacon couldn't help but doubt, "Old Wen, you are well-informed, what you said should not be false, but I have never heard of such supernatural powers. I am afraid it is the cave heaven ancestor, right? Can Nascent Soul cultivators really have such power? Do you know who is in the swamp?"

Shopkeeper Wen knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, which led to so many follow-up words, and prevaricated, "If it is a cave heaven ancestor, he can release and collect, and it will not affect us!"

The deacon had little knowledge, but he just asked this. The spiritual energy storm arrived in a blink of an eye, and there was no time to investigate carefully. Sure enough, in less than a pillar of incense, a spiritual energy storm like the one in the Lu Kingdom swept over the Flowing Dream Swamp, blowing away more than half of the natural cloud fog that would never dissipate. Everyone sighed, "I don't know what happened to Altar City. This time there are not so many cultivators on the city wall to strengthen the array."

This time was better than the Lu Kingdom's time. After the spiritual power chaos, there was no movement in the space. It seems that there are many cultivators in the Lu Kingdom, and there should be two space spiritual treasures colliding, which caused the space to be unstable. This time no one used space spiritual treasures, so the space was still stable, which made people breathe a sigh of relief—in fact, seven hundred years ago, even if the spiritual energy was unstable, it was a big event for South Zhuzhou, but today, if it is just a spiritual energy storm, it can be called lucky.

The spiritual energy only rolled once and did not continue. It seems that the fight has ended. According to the orientation of the Nether Miasma Swamp, everyone expected that these two cultivators would come out of the swamp and it would take more than half a month to reach Altar City. Unexpectedly, when they got up early on the third day, everyone felt that the sky was much darker than before. By noon, the sky was completely dark, and the city hung out lights one after another. Elder Liu and Shopkeeper Wen went to the Dao Palace together and used magic tools to check the movement outside the Flowing Dream Swamp array. I saw demons and ghosts, all kinds of strange demons and ghosts, blocking the sky and the sun, covering the sky tightly. A long-browed man with a handsome face and evil spirit stood in the demon cloud and flew towards Altar City. The speed of escape was far beyond the expectation of all cultivators. The Dao Palace deacon was shocked and suspicious, shouting, "Such a big movement, it is really the cave heaven Venerable traveling! That demon cloud is the dharma image, right!"

Elder Liu blurted out, "Not cave heaven, this is Yanshan Tai Shi Yi—the Nascent Soul of the great sect, actually reached this point!"

He called Tai Shi Yi's name, and the other party seemed to have a sense, and looked over with evil eyes. The dharma mirror couldn't bear it, and with a 'click', it broke into two pieces. Everyone felt pain in their eyes and stepped back a few steps. Shopkeeper Wen said, "The Order Master of the Law Treasury is probably really angry. When he came out of the Heavenly Boat, he didn't have such momentum. I just don't know who he is going to trouble with such a fierce momentum."

How fast was Tai Shi Yi's escape speed? The journey that Elder Liu walked for three days was only a pillar of incense for him. Altar City was already in sight. He shook his broad shoulders, and the demon cloud behind him condensed into a giant hand, carrying wind and thunder, and slapped the small floating island in front of Altar City with the momentum of thunder.

In the past, he also transformed into a giant hand to attack Xu Shaowei in front of Altar City, but that palm was just condensed with Qi, and Xu Shaowei blocked most of it by relying on protective magic treasures. Today, this palm is like substance, occupying most of the sky, with five-colored brilliance faintly appearing on the edge of the palm, and the palm wind passed, it seems to have broken the space. Tai Shi Yi pinched the formula with both hands, showing a three-headed and six-armed body, one side happy, one side angry, one side sad, and the angry face turned to the front, shouting at the floating island. "Chen Jun! Hand over Xu Shaowei and that Ruan clan girl to me!"

Sometimes there will be chapters without Little Ci's appearance. I will mention it in the summary. If you care, you can skip buying.

Q&A time

1. Does Panpan like to eat fish?

As a cat, it can eat when hungry, but it doesn't particularly like fish. So Panpan said she doesn't like fish, but it doesn't mean she hates it.

2. Are spiritual energy and Dao rhythm the same thing?

No, the text clearly describes it. Spiritual energy is five-colored spiritual brilliance, and Dao rhythm is colorless small flowers. Let's put it this way, spiritual energy is pork, and Dao rhythm is the red stamp on the pork.

Aside, speaking of which, I read "The Dharma Master is Always Your Grandfather" yesterday, and I abandoned it without finishing it. One point that I find it very difficult to accept in male-frequency articles is that they must write female characters, but they are all stereotypes and objective perspectives. This is more uncomfortable than not writing female characters at all. Every female character of appropriate age appears, within a thousand words at the nearest, or within a dozen chapters at the farthest, she must have a sexual connection with a male character. Either she is the ex-girlfriend of a certain man, or she is an admirer of a certain man, or she wants to rely on a certain man to survive. For me, a female reader, these are extremely repulsive treatments. Now I have started reading "Players are Super Righteous"~~~ I will repo to you tomorrow.
