Chapter 621: Sixth Hundred and Seventy-First Chapter: What If You Add Me?

"System, check in!"

"Check-in successful, obtained Hunyuan Iron Sand Palm!"

"Heh, Iron Sand Palm." Looking at the manual in his hand, which could only be considered top-tier, Shen Yu tossed it aside.

If he had just arrived in this World, this manual would have held some appeal for him; after all, this Martial Art appeared much stronger than average ones and was likely an advanced version of the Iron Sand Palm, with decent power.

However, at his current level, such a Martial Art was of no use to him and could only be used to reward others on a whim.

But being able to obtain something through a check-in proved that Yan Ruyi had truly become a corrupt official. Just as he had said, greedy for wealth and lustful, he had likely fallen into every vice.

Since the people of the world have failed me, why should I still care for the people of the world? Yan Ruyi had completely fallen.

An honest official who originally intended to serve the country and the people had ended up in such a state, even having to scheme against himself for the sake of others, casting all his family's ancestral teachings to the back of his mind.

Was this his own voluntary corruption, or had this muddy water polluted him, forcing him to become covered in filth and eventually just like the others?

Come to think of it, Yan Ruyi deserved to die, and those corrupt officials who had once framed him also deserved to die; his sword would have to be stained with blood once more.

"Not right!" After walking out the door, Shen Yu looked toward the sky. Above the clear sky, it seemed as if strands of peculiar power were raining down, subtly transforming this heaven and earth.

"The Spirit Qi outside seems to have increased again!" In that instant, Shen Yu sensed the change in the sky; it was Spirit Qi gathering, and the limits of the world were rising.

Under such Spirit Qi, it wouldn't be long before many people would be able to break through.

But this was not a good thing. If there was more Spirit Qi, there must be a reason, and the worst possibility was that a crack in the Forbidden Land had been opened!

The Forbidden Land was the vent for Spirit Qi, and the Spiritual Qi Surge began from there.

Over a hundred years ago, at the moment of the Spiritual Qi Surge, Mu Zishan, as the number one in the world who had suppressed the Jianghu for many years, entered the Forbidden Land alone to suppress the surging Spirit Qi.

With his own flesh and blood, he transformed into a sturdy dam to block the surging torrent of Spirit Qi.

A hundred years had passed, and as the Spirit Qi accumulated more and more, Mu Zishan was gradually unable to hold on.

Furthermore, there were people from that organization causing trouble every other day, wanting to break through the dam to welcome the Spiritual Qi Surge.

It was impossible to make them give up; many among them had already reached the end of their lives and hoped to use the Spiritual Qi Surge to raise their cultivation realms to a higher level.

Once their realms were higher and their vitality greatly increased, they could live.

Human nature is just like this; in order to survive, for their own sake, they could abandon everything.

What did the Life and Death of the people of the world, or the great righteousness of the world, have to do with them?

"No wonder they wanted to stall me!" Brows slightly furrowed, Shen Yu seemed to suddenly understand why the other party had done this.

The other party must be doing something very critical that could not be interrupted, which was why they had to find a way to stall him, the greatest variable.

Thinking about it, what they wanted to do was to strike with all their might to pry open the Forbidden Land, even if it was just to knock open a very small crack.

Even if the Forbidden Land only revealed a tiny crack, under the impact of the surging Spirit Qi, the dam that was Mu Zishan would likely not be able to hold on for long.

It wouldn't take long before the Spiritual Qi Surge would completely erupt, the world would fall into chaos, and that so-called Great Contention Era was already right before his eyes.

"Lord Shen, my Lord!" The moment Shen Yu walked out of the main gate, several people immediately rushed up, clearly having waited for him for a long time.

"My Lord, you have finally appeared! Lord Shen, a major event has occurred!"

They had waited here for a long time; Senior Bai Yi had repeatedly urged them to find Lord Shen Yu. But according to their intelligence, the last place Lord Shen appeared was Santu City.

Afterward, they learned from the County Magistrate of Santu City that Shen Yu was coming to kill the corrupt official who was the Governor of Luyun Prefecture.

Immediately following that, they rushed here without stopping, only to find that they could not enter the rooms inside the State Yamen at all.

They had tried many methods, but were still powerless, as if they were being isolated outside by an invisible force.

With no other choice, they could only wait outside, not daring to leave for even a moment.

Now, seeing Shen Yu walk out from inside, they naturally rushed over one by one. The situation was urgent, and they could not care about too much etiquette.

"Senior Bai Yi said he sensed the existence of the Forbidden Land and guessed that the people from that organization had made a move. They wanted to break through the Forbidden Land, which caused the anomaly that allowed him to sense it!"

"Now Senior Bai Yi has gone to Luoyue Slope to stop them and told us to be sure to find Lord Shen and stop them from opening the Forbidden Land!"

Looking at these people helplessly, Shen Yu looked at the sky again. "I'm afraid it's too late. The heaven and earth's Spirit Qi has already begun to increase; I'm afraid a crack has already been opened in the Forbidden Land!"

"Then, then what should be done!"

"Do not panic, I will go take a look first!" Taking a deep breath, Shen Yu took a step and arrived directly at Luoyue Slope.

Luoyue Slope was located in the Northern Region; he had been here before, so he was familiar with the path. At this time, Luoyue Slope was no longer in its previous state.

A thousand miles of high mountains had been razed to the ground; the original Luoyue Slope was now nothing but a patch of uneven, deep pits of varying sizes.

In the distance, two figures were still fighting. Around them, many experts were watching covetously. The surroundings were covered in blood, minced meat, and countless corpses.

The lingering power of these corpses remained; they were definitely experts, all likely having died under the Cold Spear of Bai Yi.

This was using their lives to fill the gap, in order to oppose Bai Yi.

"Bai Yi, why must you be so stubborn? Join us, and you will also have the opportunity to reach a higher level!"

"Fart! Come here and die, you old thing!"

The long spear pierced the air, the earth shook and the mountains swayed as if the sky were collapsing and the earth sinking; a spear shadow resembling a heavenly chasm tore through the sky.

The old man, who had been strolling leisurely, showed a trace of panic on his face after seeing this strike from Bai Yi.

His footsteps tapped the ground seven times in succession; above the sky, during these seven steps, thunder rumbled.

Heavenly thunder rolled and arrived suddenly, falling overhead. Between the flashes of lightning, the sound of thunder was deafening. Bolts of lightning seemed to want to destroy the old man with white hair and beard who held the Cold Spear.

Holding the spear in one hand, Bai Yi flew directly into the air, and the long spear in his hand swept across the sky, directly tearing apart the dark clouds and destroying the thunder that filled the sky.

One man and one spear, like the most stubborn figure in this world, even if his whole body was charred black, he still refused to retreat even half a step.

"Bai Yi, the Forbidden Land has already been cracked, and the Spiritual Qi Surge is right before our eyes. Do not be obsessed; why not give yourself a chance?"

"As long as you are willing to nod, we will all be one family!"

Such a humble plea was not because he cherished talent, but because he was truly afraid.

He once thought he was not inferior to experts like Cold Spear Bai Yi, but only when facing them head-on would one know that such a person was truly terrifying.

No wonder he could rely on one man and one spear to slaughter even those resurrected old monsters as if he were chopping melons and vegetables; it was truly a power that made one marvel and despair.

"Get lost! It is my fault; I never imagined that you would actually use the spear in my hand to break open a crack in the Forbidden Land."

"Today, I shall slaughter you all to make amends for my mistakes! Once I have killed you, I will find a way to guard the Forbidden Land!"

Holding his long spear, Bai Yi pressed forward once more, his ferocious face filled with killing intent, making one feel a chill from the inside out.

Looking at the experts dead and wounded all around, one could see just how terrifying Bai Yi was; if he were to go on a rampage regardless of the consequences, how many people present could survive?

"Bai Yi, why must you remain so obsessed? The Forbidden Land has not opened, so you cannot enter it at all, let alone talk about suppressing it."

"But once the Forbidden Land is opened, can you really suppress it? Stop lying to yourself; the Spiritual Qi Surge is an irresistible trend, and anyone who tries to stop it will be torn to shreds!"

If the Forbidden Land does not open, it is impossible to enter. Since it cannot be entered, the rift cannot be prevented from being forced open.

And once the rift of the Forbidden Land expands and the Spirit Qi surges out, I fear it will be impossible to stop.

In fact, they are also very clear that the situation faced now is different from a hundred years ago; Mu Zishan could do it a hundred years ago, but now it is simply impossible.

The current Spiritual Qi Surge has been forcibly suppressed for a hundred years, just like a torrential flood kept outside a dam.

The water level of the Spirit Qi is constantly rising, and when it erupts again, its terrifying power will definitely far exceed the past, and I fear it is beyond human power to stop.

"Even if I cannot suppress the Forbidden Land, I will still kill you all!"

"Kill us? Bai Yi, now that the rift has been opened, who has the heart to fight you? I admit I am not your match, but if I am determined to run, can you stop me?"

"Then what if you add me to the mix!" On the wasteland, another figure appeared, causing everyone's gaze to shift over in unison.

"You? Shen Yu, how is it possible for you to... That good-for-nothing Yan Ruyi, didn't he say he could hold out for at least three months!"
