Chapter 234: We Can Prove It

"Very good, you all really went to great pains!"

Watching the Golden Runes closing in, Shen Yu took two steps back, his body shielded by Golden Qi, firmly protecting his front; he seemed to have already given up on resisting.

This scene, in the eyes of the old man, was a source of great joy. If Shen Yu had fought to the death, he might have had a few reservations.

But if it came to a battle of attrition, then you are truly dead for sure.

Shen Yu himself was still suppressing the toxins within his body, and his cultivation base was already being constantly consumed.

And with so many people on their side, plus the addition of everyone in Anzhou City, and the power of the Anzhou earth veins, they could wear you to death just by attrition.

It was precisely because of this that the old man breathed a slight sigh of relief. In this battle, he might even be able to achieve zero casualties.

"This Array must have been set up by you all well in advance, right!"

"In that case, whether it is Tingfeng Pavilion, or He Yuan, or even Xue Muchen and the others, they are all your handiwork?"

Suddenly, Shen Yu, who was dealing with their attacks in a sorry state, spoke up, his gaze still carrying a hint of hatred.

Such hatred did not make the old man and his companions feel even a shred of fear; instead, it made them feel a sense of triumph.

Resentment is an expression that only the weak and the losers should have. When such an expression appeared in Shen Yu's eyes, it meant he had already lost.

"Not bad, this Array was indeed set up long ago; I can only say you are lucky, and using it on you is merely a coincidence."

"Shen Yu, you are indeed very clever; even I, Du Zhangqing, have to admit your terror. In the entire Jianghu, the only one who can compare to you is Mu Zishan."

Looking at Shen Yu, Du Zhangqing could not help but show a bit of admiration, though, of course, it was only admiration.

"Whether it is Tingfeng Pavilion, or Xue Muchen and the others, or even that old fellow who feeds on negative energy, they are all pieces we laid out long ago."

"We spent so much time setting up these Chess Pieces, yet they were destroyed by you, Shen Yu. You really are a scourge!"

"What exactly are you trying to do?" Whether it was Tingfeng Pavilion or Mu Zishan, every one of these people was no small scourge, yet Du Zhangqing and his group were using them as Chess Pieces.

What were Du Zhangqing and his group trying to do? Were they trying to ruin all of Xichuan?

"Since things have reached this point, telling you doesn't matter. We want the blood of the people of Xichuan and their resentment and so on, to use the Sacrificial Great Array to break open the Forbidden Land and usher in a prosperous age!"

"We have calculated it; it won't be long before the Forbidden Land drifts near Xichuan."

Speaking of this, Du Zhangqing's face was filled with fanaticism. "At that time, all our methods will be used at once, and we will surely succeed in one stroke!"

"Breaking open the Forbidden Land—you want a Spiritual Qi Surge!" In an instant, Shen Yu's eyes were filled with uncertainty. He had thought of countless reasons, but this was the only one he had never considered.

In his impression, all the top experts of the Jianghu were deeply wary of the Spiritual Qi Surge. If it were possible, they would definitely try their best to prevent it.

The big shots in the Jianghu now seem to be high and mighty, lording over others, but once the Spiritual Qi Surge happens, a miserable massacre awaits them.

Yet this person before him actually wanted to break open the Forbidden Land and let the Spiritual Qi Surge descend upon the World again; this person must be insane.

Don't they know that once the Spiritual Qi Surge occurs, those old monsters will awaken?

Whether it is the records left by predecessors or the information they have obtained, everyone knows that after the Spiritual Qi Surge, one will face an endless sea of corpses and blood.

Whether it is ordinary people or those Jianghu experts, they are nothing more than food in the eyes of those beings. It is just like pigs and sheep kept in captivity—they kill as they please, taking and seizing whatever they want.

Experts, in particular, are like the most delicious delicacies, attracting batch after batch of starving, newly awakened old monsters.

"Don't you know that once the Spiritual Qi Surge happens, countless sleeping old monsters will awaken, and they will stir up a storm of blood and endless slaughter!"

"I know, but wealth is sought in danger." Shaking his head, Du Zhangqing's eyes held a hint of disdain and pity.

The feeling was as if their levels and heights were simply not on the same plane, and Du Zhangqing seemed to be high and mighty.

Where does this sense of superiority come from? Do you know that a piece of trash like you will die a miserable death!

"The Spiritual Qi Surge means that realms will improve rapidly, which also means we will live longer. As for the slaughter you mentioned, heh!"

"We are different; you will be hunted down, but we won't!"

"Don't understand?" Seeing the curiosity and confusion in Shen Yu's eyes, he glanced at his skin, which was beginning to turn black.

Du Zhangqing understood that Shen Yu's poison was about to take effect and he was nearing his limit.

Since that was the case, he would waste a few more words with him to drag out more time. The young man opposite would be weaker for a while longer, which would save him from fighting for his life.

"Shen Yu, ah, Shen Yu, you should know that the era is always changing; even those old predecessors who awaken need to re-acquaint themselves with the new era."

"When they wake up, they will need someone to lead the way in a completely unfamiliar environment. Besides, someone has to serve them; they wouldn't look twice at ordinary people!"

"I understand!" Seeming to suddenly understand what the other party meant, Shen Yu also knew where their reliance lay.

"To put it plainly, you are just a bunch of traitors and collaborators!"

Although he did not understand what Shen Yu meant by "traitors," he could hear the mockery in Shen Yu's words; it was clearly not a compliment.

However, Du Zhangqing did not care about this. These so-called geniuses only know how to resist and fight to the death, but when have they ever won?

These short-sighted fools only bring more violent retaliation to this World after their resistance; they only bring disaster.

But his own people are different; they can protect more people through compromise. Regardless of the process, at least the results are much better for them.

In Du Zhangqing's eyes, or perhaps in their entire organization, being able to compromise and endure humiliation is the mark of a true hero; they are the truly great ones!

"So you want to kill me just to please your masters?"

"Yes, before the predecessors awaken, the house must be cleaned, otherwise they will be in a bad mood. If they are in a bad mood, they will kill people. We do this to save more people!"

"Shen Yu, oh Shen Yu, you will never know how great we are!"

"Do you know how many people we have saved during the many Spiritual Qi Surges? The reason this World still exists is due to our contributions!"

Bah, how truly shameless. You have the nerve to say it, and I don't even have the nerve to listen. It's the first time I've heard someone describe traitors and collaborators in such a righteous and noble way.

And looking at Du Zhangqing's intent, they firmly believe in this; just how brainwashed must they be?

"On the contrary, you people are self-righteous; do you know how much influence you have caused?"

"Mu Zishan guarding the Forbidden Land all by himself sounds very great, doesn't it? But he, Mu Zishan, dragged out the Spiritual Qi Surge for a hundred years, a hundred years!"

"The predecessors will surely be very angry, and the consequences will be severe. Do you know how many people they will kill to vent their hatred?"

"Someone did the same thing of delaying the Spiritual Qi Surge back then. Do you know that the people of the world were almost wiped out that time?"

"If we hadn't preserved the last bit of Original Qi back then, perhaps this World would have no future."

"Heh?" With a disdainful sneer, this group of people is truly shameless, taking credit for everything.

Shen Yu understood very well that in the eyes of those people, the people of this world were equivalent to grain; how could they possibly eat all the Seed? They would certainly leave some, and would never kill everyone.

This old thing before him actually dared to take credit for himself; you people really have no shame.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Du Zhangqing said leisurely once more, "People like you are the ones who bring disaster to the World!"

"Kill you first, then execute the plan to break open the Forbidden Land again. Once the Forbidden Land is forcibly broken open, Mu Zishan, who guards the Forbidden Land, will surely die, and the two great threats to the seniors will be gone!"

"In this way, the seniors' anger should dissipate quite a bit, and they will kill fewer people when they kill."

In the end, Du Zhangqing did not forget to sigh, "It is truly not easy for us to plan so painstakingly for the world!"

"Bah!"
