Chapter 313

On the special train returning to Lanling City, Li Fei noticed the anomaly outside, came to the window, and looked out.

Then he was stunned.

"Holy shit!"

He looked at the huge golden Dharma form in the distance, and that golden coiled dragon, and fell into shock.

That was the direction of Jin Shan Fucheng.

This train had departed from Daluo Town, and after driving for a few days, it had already driven out of Yidu Prefecture, passed through the provincial capital, and entered the territory of Jin Shan Prefecture.

Now it was about to leave Jin Shan Prefecture and leave Ming Province.

"Is that the means of True Person Qingxu?"

Li Fei immediately probed his virtual sense into the Dream-Like Decree to ask True Person Qingding.

"What happened?"

True Person Qingding asked.

The Dream-Like Decree was in a 'dormant' state and possessed the function of extremely strong concealment of heavenly secrets; True Person Qingding's true soul was inside it, almost cutting off his perception of the outside world.

Li Fei immediately used the Dream-Building Technique to 'construct' the scene he saw for True Person Qingding.

"He actually launched it now? Why? Is he crazy?!!!"

True Person Qingding was extremely excited when he saw the scene Li Fei constructed for him.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

Li Fei asked calmly.

"The amount of stolen Dragon Qi is not enough; he is not prepared at all. Why launch it now?!"

True Person Qingding was furious, even more furious than when he was suddenly betrayed by True Person Qingxu.

"Huh?"

Li Fei suddenly realized a problem.

After True Person Qingding died, his true soul had been drifting on Daluo Peak, and then he entered the Dream-Like Decree; he was not clear about the series of events that happened later.

Before he died, True Person Qingxu told him he would seal the mountain for ten years, so he guessed that True Person Qingxu's subsequent plan was to use the time of sealing the mountain to develop in secret.

But he did not know that True Person Qingxu was no longer the Sect Master of the Daluo Sect.

So Li Fei quickly informed True Person Qingding of the things that happened later.

True Person Qingding was silent after listening.

True Person Qingxu killed him to give the imperial court an explanation, and then took the opportunity to seal the mountain, advancing by retreating, to buy himself enough time.

Actually, True Person Qingxu almost got his wish, because the Emperor had already planned to let him go for the time being and completely control the power of the Daoist school first.

But one person disagreed.

Ye Zean insisted that True Person Qingxu abdicate!

A domineering Sha aura lingered in the drill ground; even powerhouses in the Dao foundation stage would have their hearts and minds affected by this Sha aura.

Without the position of Sect Master, he handed over the Daluo Decree.

It would be impossible for True Person Qingxu to enter the forbidden area behind the mountain in the future, let alone control the Luck Golden Lotus in the Thunder Pool.

In that case, all his plans would come to nothing.

This was something he could not tolerate!

So True Person Qingxu wanted to take the only opportunity to follow Tai Yu into the forbidden area behind the mountain, and then recklessly launch his plan in advance!

"He couldn't have lost to Tai Yu; it must be because he was wary of True Person Yunshu, so he took the opportunity to admit defeat and then found a chance to launch it in advance."

True Person Qingding said.

Li Fei: "Then he launched it in advance; do you think he still has a chance to succeed?"

"I don't know..."

"He is already exposed now; what is the point of you hiding for him?"

"Dragon Qi is insufficient, and he launched it in advance; he only has one path to take... I didn't expect him to make such a choice."

"What choice exactly?!"

Li Fei was also a bit anxious.

Speaking only half of the words is really infuriating.

"It's a blood sacrifice!"

"What did you say?"

"Blood sacrifice! Qingxu wants to establish a Dao Nation, but in a situation where Dragon Qi is insufficient and various preparations are not fully adequate, his only way is to make up for it through blood sacrifice.

The Son of Heaven's Dragon Qi is essentially an aggregate of a large amount of human Qi; so-called human Qi is the life force of a person. When the life force of millions, tens of millions of people is condensed together, under the coordination of the national power, it can condense into the Son of Heaven's Dragon Qi.

If Qingxu still had time, he could slowly use other methods to make up for the human Qi, but launching suddenly in a rush, he can only use the method of blood sacrifice, using the most cruel way to make up for the human Qi!"

Communication between thoughts is much faster than speaking; Li Fei understood True Person Qingding's meaning almost instantly.

He understood the meaning of the Dao Nation, and also understood what a blood sacrifice was.

It is not hard to understand from the literal meaning: forcibly extracting human Qi through massive slaughter!

As the saying goes, one general's success is built on ten thousand bones; looking at human history, the establishment of every new nation is built on countless white bones.

Only after going through war and slaughter can one possess peace and order.

Breaking the original peace and order, paving the way with slaughter and blood, and finally establishing a new peace and order.

The replacement of nations has always been like this!

So True Person Qingxu using blood sacrifice to make up for human Qi, and at the same time as the last step of his establishing the Dao Nation, actually secretly conforms to the heavenly number and acts accordingly.

Even if he had not lost the position of Sect Master, successfully sealed the mountain, and made full preparations in secret, launching it a few years later.

At that time, a 'blood sacrifice' would also be used to establish the nation.

It's just that the 'blood sacrifice' at that time would be external slaughter, a confrontation with the Great Lan Dynasty, requiring relatively fewer lives.

The current 'blood sacrifice' is internal slaughter, requiring more human lives to fill!

And the probability of success has also decreased accordingly.

True Person Qingxu is taking a desperate gamble!

"How many people's lives does Qingxu need for the blood sacrifice now?"

Li Fei looked at the Dharma form of True Person Qingxu in the distance with a blank expression and asked True Person Qingding.

True Person Qingding sensed the killing intent and anger coming from Li Fei's virtual sense and could only tell the truth:

"At least... over a million people."

"..."

Li Fei took a deep breath and was about to say something when the train he was riding suddenly braked hard and gradually stopped.

"Everyone get off the train!"

The voice of National Teacher Yunshu spread throughout the entire special train.

Li Fei turned around, grabbed the Ghost-Slaying Blade, pushed open the door of the compartment, and strode out.

Chong City.

This is a city within the territory of Jin Shan Prefecture, with a total of 270,000 people.

Under the night, there were still many places lit up in Chong City; although the streets were not as prosperous as the prefecture city, many places were crowded with people, and the voices were loud.

There were several mountains between here and Jin Shan Fucheng, so when True Person Qingxu's Dharma form appeared after Jin Shan Fucheng, the people here did not notice it at all.

Only the Chief of the city and some powerful people received calls and knew that a rebellion had occurred in Jin Shan Prefecture!

The Chief of Chong City, Fu Guangyong, immediately ordered the whole city to be under martial law, and all the city guards went to the city walls.

Then he ordered the Stop-Weapon Academy and the Supervision Academy to immediately send people to surround the Justice Academy!

"Have you contacted the provincial capital?"

Fu Guangyong asked his subordinates in his mansion.

"My lord, there is a reply! The Imperial Camp Army rebelled, and the Inspector General is dead! The Supervision Department, the Stop-Weapon Department, and the City Guard Camp have all fallen, and Chief Jiang has already fled!"

The subordinate reported in a panic.

After listening, Fu Guangyong sat on the stool, his face bloodless.

The Inspector General is dead, the Supervision Department, the Stop-Weapon Department, and the City Guard Camp have all fallen, and the only Martial Arts Grandmaster has also fled.

Then the provincial capital can be considered to have fallen!

How long has it been?

Jin Shan Fucheng has fallen, and now the provincial capital has also fallen; can Chong City hold it?

What can Chong City use to block it?

"My lord, Chief Tong is here, just outside the mansion, saying he wants to see you."

Another subordinate ran over to report.

"Tong An is here?"

Fu Guangyong was startled and subconsciously became vigilant.

Tong An is the Chief of the Stop-Weapon Academy of Chong City and also the only Dao Foundation powerhouse in Chong City.

Back then, there were four Dao Foundation powerhouses in Xing City; that was actually a special situation.

Under normal circumstances, it is like Chong City, with only one Dao Foundation in the whole city, and at most two in some places.

"Is he the only one who came?"

"Chief Tong only brought one driver."

"Go and mobilize a team of city guards."

"Yes."

"Forget it!"

Fu Guangyong stopped the subordinate who was about to run out and shook his head with a bitter smile.

In the current situation, with the Justice Academy definitely having rebelled, if Tong An has also rebelled, what can he, the Chief, use to block it?

Letting the people below use their lives to pile up, it is indeed possible to pile a Dao Foundation to death, after all, Tong An's cultivation realm is not high.

But the problem is, will there really be so many people willing to die for him, the Chief?

This is a civil war, not a national war.

"Take Chief Tong to the main hall in the front yard; I will see him there, and have someone prepare tea."

Fu Guangyong regained his composure and ordered.

Soon, he met Tong An in the main hall.

"Chief Tong."

"Chief Fu should already be clear about the current situation, right?"

Tong An went straight to the point.

Just looking at the other party's calm expression, Fu Guangyong's heart skipped a beat.

He knew the worst result had appeared!

"It seems that Chief Tong has also defected to the Daluo Sect?"

"It can't be called defecting; I was a person secretly cultivated by the Daluo Sect from the beginning."

Tong An said indifferently.

Fu Guangyong stared at the other party:

"Are you so confident that you can succeed in the rebellion?"

"Whether it can succeed or not, let's not talk about it for now; there are fifty Imperial Camp cavalry plus dozens of martial artists, and more than three hundred supervisors and two hundred city guards rushing here."

Tong An looked at Fu Guangyong calmly, "Does Chief Fu think Chong City can block it?"

Fu Guangyong's face was gray, and his back bent down at once.

In the situation where the Stop-Weapon Academy and the Justice Academy, the two most important combat forces, have both rebelled, it is impossible for Chong City to block such a force.

Not to mention that Tong An is now beside him; it is easy for the other party to kill him!

He looked at Tong An bitterly: "Chief Tong, if you want me to do something, you might as well say it directly."

"Simple, open the gates to welcome the arrival of my Dao Nation army."

Tong An said.

"Dao Nation?"

Fu Guangyong shook his head, "And then?"

Tong An: "Then gather all the personnel in all areas except the Shangli District and the Anyue District."

"What do you want to do?!"

Fu Guangyong became vigilant immediately upon hearing this.

The Shangli District and the Anyue District are the 'main urban areas' of Chong City.

Those who can live in these two areas at least belong to the upper-middle class of society.

"You don't need to ask about the rest; as long as you cooperate well, you might still have a chance to continue being the Chief of Chong City in the future."

Tong An said calmly.

"What exactly do you want to do? Even if you want to establish a nation, local stability is the most beneficial to you!"

Fu Guangyong gritted his teeth.

After all, he is a Chief who governs one side; although he can't be said to love the people like his own children, at least he cares about the safety of the people under his rule.

"Well, stability is indeed very important, so you can first transfer all the families of the supervisors and city guards to the Shangli District and the Anyue District."

Tong An's expression remained calm, as if he were saying something irrelevant:

"As for the rest of those people, they are actually not that important."

"What do you want to do? Do you want to kill people?!"

A strong sense of unease and confusion arose in Fu Guangyong's heart, "Why do this? What good does killing people do for you?"

"Chief Fu!"

Tong An's gaze suddenly turned cold, and a powerful momentum enveloped Fu Guangyong, scaring the other party so much that his body trembled, and his whole person collapsed on the chair.

An ordinary person in front of a Dao Foundation powerhouse is like an ant standing in front of a tiger.

"I call you Chief, do you think I'm giving you face?"

Tong An sneered, "I don't need to explain to you; what you need to do is cooperate with us, so that Chong City can have fewer deaths!"

"..."

Fu Guangyong was completely unable to speak.

"Do it, do the last thing you can do as Chief, if you don't want your whole family to die with you."

Tong An said, and then picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.

Soon, a 'Chief's Order' was issued:

Except for the Shangli District and the Anyue District, all other districts were blocked, and no entry or exit was allowed.

All families of the Supervision Academy and the city guards were immediately transferred to the Shangli District and the Anyue District.

Everyone else was required to go to the nearby square to gather.

Under the night, the people of Chong City were woken up from their sleep with blank faces, at a loss.

That so-called Dao Nation army was still more than three hours away from Chong City by car.

More than three hours later, the fate of hundreds of thousands of people will be changed!

One general's success is built on ten thousand bones.

The few strokes in the history books bury the humble and fragile lives of countless people behind them.
