Chapter 39
He raised the slogan "The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall stand; the year is Jiazi, the world shall be prosperous," and launched the uprising.
Historically known as the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Julu Commandery, Jizhou, Guang Sect City,
After Zhang Jiao ascended the altar to perform rituals and shouted the slogan,
divine light shone in his eyes. He looked toward Luoyang in the west,
and saw a listless golden dragon of luck above Luoyang City.
The true dragon of luck also had many black spots of various sizes on it.
"Roar!!"
The golden dragon of luck seemed to sense someone spying on it, and it angrily raised its head and looked toward Zhang Jiao.
"Since you are half-dead, then I shall slay you! Let's completely change the dynasty!"
"Slay!!"
Without waiting for the golden dragon of luck to react, Zhang Jiao condensed all the luck of the Taiping Dao, the human will accumulated over many years, and the resentment of many common people toward the Great Han into a black longsword, and slashed it at the Great Han's golden dragon of luck from afar.
"Pfft!!"
Immediately, the dragon's throat was struck solidly.
A large gash was torn open.
"Roar!!!"
The golden dragon of luck wailed, its luck began to flow away rapidly, and its aura became increasingly listless.
But in the end, it still launched a counterattack against Zhang Jiao.
"Pfft!!"
Zhang Jiao had nowhere to hide and took the backlash of the golden dragon of luck head-on. His face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The hair at his temples rapidly turned white.
Afterward, although the speed at which his hair turned white slowed down, it was still slowly increasing.
"Damn it! I miscalculated! I underestimated the strength of the golden dragon of luck. I was actually backlashed, cursed, and my lifespan is greatly reduced. I'm afraid my days are numbered."
A look of sorrow appeared on Zhang Jiao's face, but it quickly faded.
He knew that he probably wouldn't live to see the day his cause was completed.
Everything began when Tang Zhou's betrayal disrupted his plans; perhaps it was already destined.
"However, even if I have to sacrifice this life, I will make the Great Han see the anger of us bottom-tier commoners."
"I will also give this corrupt Great Han a hard push toward its destruction."
"In addition, those noble clans and eunuchs who plotted against me behind my back will also pay the price this time."
"Even if I die, I will bite off a few pieces of flesh from you, hmph!"
Zhang Jiao's eyes flashed with cold light, and he snorted coldly, thinking.
"Big Brother! Are you alright?"
At this moment, Zhang Liang and the others below the altar looked at Zhang Jiao with concern and asked.
"I'm fine! Don't worry! It was just a bit of backlash!"
Zhang Jiao gave Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao a look, then hurriedly reassured the Taiping Dao high-level officials and believers present in a loud voice.

"Pfft!"
At the same time the golden dragon of luck was wounded, Emperor Liu Hong, who was in the Ganlu Palace, suddenly turned pale, and a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth.
He passed out directly.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What happened to you?"
"Someone! Come quickly! Call the imperial physician! Quickly!"
Zhang Rang and the others beside him were shocked, their faces changing drastically. They stepped forward to check the Emperor's condition while screaming for help.
None of them noticed.
The Imperial Jade Seal on the dragon desk was just stained by the blood sprayed by Liu Hong.
"Hum!!"
Immediately, the Imperial Jade Seal vibrated slightly and emitted a faint light.
A golden stream of light flew out from the Imperial Jade Seal, rushed out of the palace without any obstruction, and went straight into the wound on the golden dragon of luck above.
It cleared away the resentment and will that were hindering the wound from healing.
This golden light then dissipated.
The light on the Imperial Jade Seal also faded and returned to tranquility.
And the wound on the golden dragon of luck began to heal rapidly.
But the size of the golden dragon of luck shrank by half.
Its aura was even more listless.
The large amount of golden luck that had flowed away earlier scattered and fell to various parts of the Great Han and even to the regions of foreign tribes outside the Great Han.
"No! How could this be?"
Zhang Jiao noticed this scene, his pupils shrank, and he almost exclaimed.
But in the end, he held it back.
Only, the sorrow deep in his eyes became even more intense.
"What a pity! All my efforts were wasted! I'm afraid the Great Han cannot be destroyed by my hands."
Zhang Jiao also saw the situation of the golden dragon of luck, and a look of regret appeared on his face.
However, Zhang Jiao soon firmed his belief. Looking at the dragon luck that had flowed from the wound of the golden dragon of luck and drifted to all parts of the Great Han and beyond, he thought: "Even so, I will have one last frenzy and set a good start for those who come after."
"I hope those who come after can build a truly Great Harmony world!"
At this time,
in some famous mountains and rivers throughout the Great Han,
some Taoists, great scholars, or hermits all looked up toward Luoyang, and then looked toward Julu in Jizhou.
Each sighed:
"What a Zhang Jiao, what a Taiping Dao, they are truly bold!"
"The Great Han is in danger!"
"Chaotic times are coming!"
"Oh! Taiping Dao, Zhang Jiao? Which fellow Taoist's grand plan is this? Pity, it failed at the last step. This Zhang Jiao is dead for sure."
"Dragon luck is scattered; in the future, this world will inevitably be a situation of heroes rising together and dragons fighting for supremacy!"
"Alas! Troubled times!"
In Lou Sang Village, Zhuo County, Zhuo Commandery, in a dilapidated house,
a young man with big ears and long arms was weaving straw sandals.
This person was Liu Bei, Liu Liu Xuande.
Suddenly, a golden light invisible to ordinary people went straight into his crown.
"Hiss!"
Liu Bei felt a jolt, and then felt his mind clear.
At the same time, a feeling of sorrow surged in his heart.
It left him looking bewildered.
Similar situations occurred with some officials and generals in various places.
Among them, those in Luoyang received the most dragon luck.
Such as Cao Cao, Lord Yuan Shao, Lord Yuan Shu, Liu Yu, Liu Biao... etc.
