What a mountain of earth fire, it was picked up by the Profound Heaven Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone next to him asked: \"Since we can attack the Profound Heaven Sect, why didn't we just attack the Danxia Gang earlier? How could Liu Qingcang defend it? Why let Bai Chi eat the household, delaying time for nothing, and making wedding clothes for others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you know? Liu Qingcang is a dog raised by the Huo family. It’s okay to design to seize his industry. Attack? How many lives do you have to deal with the Huo family’s revenge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huo family...\" The questioner shrank his head: \"Then what about the Profound Heaven Sect now? Isn't it said that the Emperor’s decree is to support? We attack so hard...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I said you guys who only know how to fight don't have a brain.\" Chang Qing sneered: \"The so-called support is just talk. We publicly assassinated at the Profound Heaven Sect ceremony, and there was no punishment afterwards, just not allowing other families to intervene. Is this an attitude of support?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... what does this mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Qing sneered: \"It means the Emperor also wants us to fight to the death with the Profound Heaven Sect! Not allowing other families to intervene is just not wanting to do too much. Just define the matter as a grudge conflict between two sects. Then even if the Profound Heaven Sect is exterminated, it is just an ordinary Jianghu grudge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that’s it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Qing said and became a bit anxious: \"Why haven't Zhang Shaoyou and the others come yet! Those who are not their own are not easy to raise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sentence was deliberately lowered a lot, so as not to be heard by the group of people standing in the distance who were \"not their own\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tower-like strong man leaned against a tree trunk in the distance, looking like a body-refining martial artist. His hearing from a long distance should not be very good, but at this time, he showed a mocking smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't bully body-refiners for having few mysterious methods. In fact, people have their own set of things, otherwise they would have been killed long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Zhao Guishan, a fourth-rank upper-level body-refining martial artist mentioned in the data, who was purely a guardian \"hired\". Looking for work in exchange for cultivation resources was a common thing for many loose cultivators and even disciples from ordinary sects. Even Lu Xingzhou had been the chief alchemist of the Danxia Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Guishan had also looked forward to the famous alchemy sect like the Burning Incense Tower giving him the creation of breaking through the third rank. But the reality was that he hadn't been qualified to touch the third-rank breaking-through pill for two years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing was precious, and it was not enough to give it if the merit was not enough. Zhang Shaoyou had risked his life so many times to get it. Zhao Guishan also understood. He was not a person who was too high-minded, and it was a common thing to accumulate merit and settle down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, coming to attack the Profound Heaven Sect was a good opportunity to exchange for great merit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But accidentally hearing such a sentence, he suddenly felt that it was very meaningless. Zhang Shaoyou, a representative of \"outsiders\" who had risked his life for so many years, was the object that these latecomers wanted to imitate. As a result, even Zhang Shaoyou was \"not his own and not easy to raise\" in the other party’s eyes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then how long does he, Zhao Guishan, have to raise to be considered familiar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Violating the morality in his heart and risking his life to attack other people’s mountain gates, is it for that little example money? Really funny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart was calculating, and two figures swept over: \"Sorry, I’m late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Zhang Shaoyou and Qin Buwang. The two looked at each other, and it seemed that they both saw the reason why the other was late, and both turned their heads and pretended to be nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two people who had been targeted and seduced by the dog and woman had not directly betrayed so early, but the swaying intention in their hearts was true. They also wanted to observe again. One was to see if Chang Qing would intentionally send these \"outsiders\" to step on thunder and die, and the other was to see how strong the Profound Heaven Sect was. If it collapsed at one rush, then nothing would be mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Qing said with a straight face: \"Why are you so slow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shaoyou’s status was not low, and he responded flatly: \"It didn't exceed the agreed time limit, what is fast or slow? Since people are gathered, the Great Elder should make arrangements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Qing said flatly: \"You are a sword cultivator, most familiar with the routines of the Sword Sect, so you open the way, the body-refining Zhao Guishan and the Dao cultivator Qin Buwang protect the left and right, is there any problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shaoyou looked at the first guardian Zhu Lianfeng and asked: \"What about you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Lianfeng said: \"We follow closely, and if there is anything wrong, we will rescue immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded very normal. If it weren't for the conversation with Shen Tang before, Zhang Shaoyou might have felt it was reasonable, but listening to it now, it was uncomfortable everywhere. The first guardian is you, the strongest of the Burning Incense Tower is you, and the one who takes the most resources is you. Now you say I am a sword cultivator and I open the way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Qin Buwang and Zhao Guishan are not sword cultivators, why are they accompanying me to go up first, instead of you, Zhu Lianfeng, going up with me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking left and right, Qin Buwang and Zhao Guishan’s faces had some mocking flavors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Qing said: \"What are you still hesitating about? How could the Profound Heaven Sect know that we are raiding tonight? Even if there is a mountain-protecting formation, it is likely that it has not been opened in time. Letting you go first is letting you make contributions!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shaoyou smiled relieved: \"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he pointed to some familiar subordinates: \"They are with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Qing naturally had no opinion, and Zhang Shaoyou quickly led the crowd from the flank of Danxia Mountain straight to the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Qing, Zhu Lianfeng and others followed carefully dozens of feet behind. Seeing Zhang Shaoyou and others cross the mountain gate and go straight to the building above, they never triggered any mountain-protecting sword formation, and they sighed in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that the raid tonight is right. The Profound Heaven Sect has not received the news of the Burning Incense Tower’s large-scale infiltration into Xiazhou, so naturally there is no preparation for the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhang Shaoyou and others cross the courtyard wall and enter the interior of the Profound Heaven Sect, there was a loud shout inside, and soon sword energy overflowed, as if they had already fought with people. Chang Qing saw that the sword energy was not any terrifying sword formation, and immediately waved his hand: \"Go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Shaoyou and others who entered the interior of the Profound Heaven Sect were covered in cold sweat at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not that there was no terrifying sword formation... The terrifying sword formation was clearly in front of them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the mountain-protecting formation that should have protected the whole mountain was concentrated in this mere courtyard, and thousands of swords were suspended around, trapping the dozens of people who entered first in the center of the sword formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shaoyou dared to be sure that if he moved casually, thousands of swords would be fired together, and the dozens of people who entered first would all become sieves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not a third-rank sword formation... but Shen Tang’s bragging was also high. They had a first-rank formation, but unfortunately they didn't have too many high-end materials to arrange it, and it didn't form first-rank power. However, when the formation was concentrated in such a small range, it was comparable to the power of the second rank, and the deterrence was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person presiding over the formation was not Shen Tang, but a middle-aged man who was sloppy, full of beard, and wearing a broken straw shoe, and the breath on his body was very close to Zhang Shaoyou... a third-rank sword cultivator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Qing and others saw the sword energy clash from the outside, which was caused by Zhang Shaoyou and this person making a sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shaoyou swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth reluctantly: \"What does your Excellency mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sloppy man seemed to be doing nothing, sitting on the side catching lice, lazily saying: \"Why ask me what I mean, might as well ask yourselves what you mean... being driven like a dog to step on the sword formation, and all of them are so honest, can you say what you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shaoyou was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Guishan, who was beside him, arched his hands: \"We are just acting on orders...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't use this set...\" The sloppy man smiled: \"Don't you want to see our strength? If it is leveled with one shovel, then nothing will be mentioned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sloppy man smiled: \"The Sect Master attaches great importance to you, and the mountain-protecting sword formation is specifically taken out for you to see, even showing the power that should not be shown in the world. You should know the sincerity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a show of strength, and it was also a show of force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they joined forces, if they wanted to break out of this sword formation, there would be opportunities, but there would inevitably be great casualties. They also had a third-rank sword cultivator to sweep the formation. This casualty was really unpredictable. What life-risking for that little example pill every month!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shaoyou had a number in his heart, sighed and said: \"I heard that after the old Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Sect passed away, there were no third-rank powerhouses. I don't know your Excellency is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qi laughed: \"My name is Shen Qi, just the Sect Master’s guard. I have no interest in the position of the sect, that is left for you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shaoyou was silent for a moment, and finally said: \"If we would easily betray the original sect, I am afraid your sect would not dare to trust our character. Why bother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qi glanced at him, his expression indifferent: \"We don't need your betrayal, just stay here and don't run around... I believe you have no reason to risk your life to break out—even if you want to, others may not cooperate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shaoyou’s heart jumped, and his palms were full of cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course they couldn't break out... Just as Shen Qi said, even if a few people were willing to risk their lives, it would be useless. This situation only had the unity of everyone to risk heavy casualties to allow the few strongest to break out, but it was impossible to have such unity now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they could only wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the incident, this group of people who entered first were unscathed, while the rear Chang Qing, Zhu Lianfeng and others suffered heavy casualties. How would that look in others’ eyes? How would the Burning Incense Tower look?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they really couldn't go back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shaoyou’s eyes changed: \"Is this Sect Master Shen’s plan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That woman who looked excellent, atmospheric and gentle, is she so dark?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qi was silent for a moment: \"Elder Lu’s plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has already brought our princess bad... we are also very uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Buwang, who was beside him, took a deep breath: \"If your sect didn't plan to use our rebellion... then the mountain-protecting sword formation and your Excellency are all dragged here, so don't be afraid that Sect Master Shen will not be able to fight, and everything will be empty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qi said flatly: \"Wait and see. You also want to wait for the result, don't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rear Chang Qing and others found that Zhang Shaoyou’s group had no sound after the first wave of sword energy erupted, and they had just rushed to the courtyard wall, and the scenery changed suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly it was a snowy night, but at this moment the wind and snow disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All around was dark, and the sound of thousands of ghosts crying resounded through the mountains and fields, stirring people’s hearts and wanting to go crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third-rank Chang Qing and Zhu Lianfeng could still see the people around them, but except for them, everyone else lost their vision and hearing, and couldn't even see the companions close at hand, nor could they hear the sound, as if they were in a ghost prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long time ago, the dead men of the Shen family business who broke into the backyard would tell them, we are familiar with this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yama Palace’s famous illusion array... not those collected spoils, but the true biography of Yama King Yuan Muyu herself, Nether Ghost Prison, Trial of the Wheel Platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how many people came, it seemed that only one person was in the place of the wheel platform, facing the desperate darkness, waiting for the Yama King’s ruling.\u003C\u002Fp>",2340,"2026-06-18T01:46:09.112Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","aa68439fff70c1328731787fc4d420721e2310b79019f1433cdd9dd83236317a","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-64","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-62",325,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmountains-and-rivers-of-the-imperial-granary-cover.jpg"]
