Chapter 278: Master of the Water Mirror

As the voice fell, all of Beijun was shocked.

Countless living beings looked up at the sky; no matter where they were, they could see that pillar of Magic Qi rising into the sky, and within that pillar of Magic Qi stood many figures of Terror!

If an ordinary person looked for a few moments, their mind could no longer withstand such figures of Terror; their sanity would collapse, and they would become madmen.

The strong among Beijun were horrified.

Whether it was the official imperial court or the strong of the noble clans, a sense of crisis regarding Life and Death rose in their hearts at this moment. What kind of Great Terror was this, after all? Could it be demons of the Heavenly Human level!?

In every city and every noble clan, Protective City Arrays were rapidly raised.

Those demons of the Sunset Organization could not help but smile upon seeing the situation in Beijun. The dragon-shaped demon at the lead continued to speak, "One among you has committed a capital crime, having come into contact with power that should not have been touched, so he has implicated you all in death."

"And this person is a practitioner of the Great Sun Path!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Lie Dangkong, who was waiting in battle formation within Jinhua City, felt his body shake.

These Weird demons of Terror had come to Beijun, and it was actually for a practitioner of the Great Sun Path—for him? How could that be! No, perhaps these Weird demons were not here for him...

But for Li Heng!

Thinking of this, his heart sank; this was troublesome now.

For the sake of this matter, the strong of this terrifying Sunset Organization had actually come out in full force. Observing those figures of Terror carefully, Lie Dangkong estimated that there were at least five or six of the Heavenly Human level among them.

And this did not seem to be the ordinary Heavenly Human level!

Lie Dangkong felt his scalp go numb.

With so many demons of Terror descending, if they wanted to destroy Beijun, it would likely be a matter of an instant; they wouldn't even be able to react. If one were not careful, the entire Great Li would be overturned.

This was not to say that Great Li did not have so many Heavenly Humans.

It was just that a single Heavenly Human could easily destroy the territory of a commandery, let alone so many Heavenly Humans; could the strong of Great Li stop them? Not to mention that those Heavenly Humans of Great Li belonged to various factions and were not of one mind; until now, not a single Heavenly Human had stood out.

Among the various noble clans of Beijun.

The power-holders of the families, such as the heads of the clans and the elders, were furious to see the demons of the Sunset Organization being so arrogant, suppressing Beijun and cutting off the inside from the outside. Did they really think their noble clans had no one!

But soon.

They all received messages from their own ancestors.

"This has nothing to do with us, avoid the battle!"

The faces of these family power-holders stiffened.

It was the first time they had seen their own ancestors speak in such a soft tone. Could it be that this group of demons had some heaven-shaking background?

Helpless, without the backing of their own ancestors, they could only tuck their tails between their legs.

They had been angry just now only because these demons were ignoring the majesty of their noble clans, not because they wanted to contribute to the living beings of Beijun. Therefore, they were not worth risking their lives for against this group of demons of Terror.

And so.

The various noble clans began to hide, disappearing directly from Beijun. If not for some traces remaining, one could almost say they had never existed at all.

On the side of the Sunset Organization.

Those Weird demons looked down from a high position, and sensing that the powerful auras within the land of Beijun were disappearing and hiding, they could not help but laugh loudly. "Those strong humans are as cowardly as ever."

"But it counts as them being sensible; I originally wanted to hunt a Heavenly Human to have a taste," a twisted, writhing Weird said with a sinister laugh.

"Alright, since they are so sensible and have hidden themselves, do not force them; even a dog will bite when driven to a wall."

The dragon-shaped demon said calmly.

Afterwards, it spoke again, its voice resounding through Beijun.

"Humble humans, I will now give you a path to survival. Find that practitioner of the Great Sun Path and hand him over, and I can spare all of you from death."

"Of course, if that practitioner of the Great Sun Path volunteers to stand out, we will be even happier. Now, we will only give you the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn to consider. Now, panic."

The voice shook Heaven and Earth, turning into Magic sound that confused the mind and shook the soul, echoing across the land of Beijun, ignoring the obstruction of all Protective City Arrays, and drilling into the soul of every person.

And then, it easily caused Chaos.

In almost every city, there appeared living beings whose sanity collapsed, walking onto the streets—people crowding people, people trampling people—crying, shouting, the sounds of looting and killing, the extreme Chaos of every sound entering the ears.

If there were strong individuals stationed in the cities, it was still fine.

They could completely suppress the Chaos by relying on their individual great power.

But if that city had no strong individuals stationed and no foundation, then relying on that situation of Chaos, half the people would be lost.

"Damn it!"

After Lie Dangkong suppressed the Chaos in Jinhua City, he roared.

"This group of demons simply does not put Great Li in their eyes!"

But in the end, he was helpless.

Because those demons were Heavenly Humans, the pinnacle of the World.

And he was only a Dharma Aspect.

Even if he risked his life, used all his trump cards, and risked his soul being scattered, he estimated he would still be unable to reverse-slay a Heavenly Human demon.

The gap between Dharma Aspects was already large, and the gap between a Dharma Aspect and a Heavenly Human was even larger, having reached the gap between the immortal and the mortal. Could a mortal kill an immortal? It was almost impossible!

He scanned the entire city with his Divine Sense, his face showing worry.

"Li Heng, where exactly are you?"

Lie Dangkong had already decided in his heart that if Li Heng had not appeared after the time of one stick of incense approached, he would have to stand up and delay a little time for Li Heng.

He also practiced the Great Sun Path.

Perhaps he could use his own life to fool them, it was not impossible.

"You demons, you go too far!"

Suddenly.

A roar resounded through Heaven and Earth, and an endless amount of Vast Righteous Energy surged forth, purifying the land of Beijun and causing the living beings who had fallen into Chaos to return to normal.

A thin figure, wrapped in infinite righteous Qi of Heaven and Earth, stood firm above Beijun, robes fluttering as he confronted that group of demons and Weird from the Sunset Organization.

The Dharma Aspect experts within Beijun exclaimed at the sight.

"That is, that is, Master Shuijing! According to rumors, didn't he perish a hundred years ago? I never expected him to still be alive, and now he has advanced to Heavenly Human?"

The experts were shaken, recalling the past of this Master Shuijing.

He was a genius of Confucianism; he could write poetry at three, attained the rank of Cultivated Talent by seven, and at twelve, his own scholarship crushed the top scholar of that time, leading to an exceptional invitation from the Hundred Saints Academy.

At fifty.

He had already reached the realm of a Great Confucian of the Dharma Aspect!

At that time.

This Master Shuijing was even hailed as the number one person in the Dharma Aspect Realm, a being with the potential to break through to the Heavenly Human level and rank among the sages of Confucianism. Unfortunately, during his breakthrough, a Heaven and Earth Mutation occurred.

Many people thought he had died.

Yet, as it turns out, he didn't die?

For a moment, hope rose in the hearts of many experts; with the protection of Master Shuijing, perhaps there was hope for Beijun!

The group of demons from the Sunset Organization sneered in disdain at the sight.

"Where did this idiot come from?"

"Even the experts of the many great clans dare not contend with us, and you think you can? A crippled Heavenly Human, a piece of trash produced by the Pollution of Heaven and Earth—aren't you afraid that after you strike, the Pollution will worsen and turn you into a monster!"

As these words were spoken, the many living beings in Beijun were startled, their hearts sinking as a sense of despair arose.

So Master Shuijing's condition was this dire? No wonder there were rumors back then that he had died.

Was there truly no hope left for Beijun?!
