My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 252 The End
The chaos came without any warning.

Chen Mu stared at the direction where the black dragon had disappeared, his face grim.

Keelung Road has definitely been attacked.

He stepped onto the fishbone boat and moved slightly closer to the dock. Then he released five ghostly spirits to investigate.

Looking down from the sky, a scene of ruin and chaos comes into view.

Half of the low hill to the north of Tongtianfang has been leveled. The wooden Taoist temple that stood on the cliff has also completely disappeared.

The docks and Tongtianfang were also in complete chaos.

A group of burly men, each about two meters tall and possessing unusual features, were fighting against the people stationed at the lower courtyard of Chicken Cage Road.

This included Song Wuji, the abbot.

His opponent was a two-and-a-half-meter-tall strongman with protruding fangs, arms covered in black hair, and muscles that resembled an ape more than a human.

The opponent was shrouded in black smoke, enduring Song Wuji's insect cloud attack and striking Song Wuji's protective aura with punches.

"Are all these people practicing the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique?"

"The Chongshan Road?"

At this moment, Song Wuji's protective aura was being smashed and was shaking violently, showing that he was completely powerless to fight back.

"Supervisor Song is in danger!" Chen Mu's face grew increasingly grim.

Is Chicken Coop Road doomed?
He immediately set sail in his fishbone boat, more than ten miles away from the Lower House, and found a secluded river bend where he anchored.

"Let's wait and see," Chen Mu sighed.

He didn't want to get involved in such a chaotic battle; one wrong move and he could be dead.

"It all depends on whether the Lower Temple of Keelung Road survives the calamity or the Lower Temple of Chongshan Road is destroyed."

"After finally having two years of peace and quiet, sigh..."

……

The attack occurred in the evening.

Soon it got completely dark.

From the sky, it looked like a chaotic battle was taking place everywhere in the lower house.

In the distant mountains, occasional flashes of light and muffled thunderous sounds could be heard.

The Lower House's defensive restriction nodes are clearly also under attack.

Until the moon was high in the sky, a loud bang exploded in the lower courtyard.

Even as Chen Mu floated on the Tongtian River, he could feel the earth vibrating.

Several thunderclaps, as loud as tearing silk, resounded simultaneously in the sky.

Chen Mu looked up and saw black cracks appearing in the sky under the moonlight.

He had seen this scene before; a similar sight had appeared in the southern sky when the strange beasts invaded.

"A restriction?" Chen Mu's expression changed.

Is Chicken Coop Road finished?!

Just as Chen Mu was preparing to escape on the fishbone boat.

"Song Wuji!" A sorrowful and indignant voice interrupted Chen Mu's actions.

Above the lower courtyard of Chicken Coop Road, two figures collided back and forth.

Flashes of light flickered in the thin mist and clouds, like continuous thunder.

The battle ended abruptly very quickly.

The black ape-like giant let out a howl.

The Chongshan Dao disciples who were fighting in various parts of the lower courtyard quickly disengaged from the battles and gathered at Tongtianfang.

Not long after, they all left by boat.

"This..." Chen Mu was puzzled.

Didn't they already break through the defensive barriers? Why did they suddenly retreat?
But at the same time, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It was clear that Abbot Song Wuji had taken some measures to make Chongshan Dao completely abandon the attack.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness..." Chen Mu was extremely relieved.

He was living a peaceful life in the House of Commons and didn't want to get into chaos.

After observing for a while and confirming that the people from Chongshan Road had been evacuated, he quietly approached the dock and went ashore, blending into the crowd of people who were busy putting out fires and making repairs.

……

"There is an order from the Prison Court, and the disciples from the Lower Court should return to their seats."

"Meet in your respective zones early tomorrow morning."

"Anyone who takes advantage of the chaos to cause trouble shall be killed without exception."

The patrolmen in gray uniforms shouted instructions as they quickly passed through Tongtianfang, rushing into various parts of the lower courtyard to relay orders and maintain order. "Did we make it through?" Chen Mu, hiding in the crowd, breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't dare to wander around Tongtianfang, so he headed towards Gengyin District after leaving Tongtianfang.

They were afraid of being caught and harassed by the still-angry inspectors.

We should know the specifics by tomorrow.

……

Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the Five Ghosts and Yin Spirits, two meters off the ground, concealing his figure.

The Fabric Technique propelled him rapidly toward the Gengyin District.

The other five ghosts also patrolled the surrounding sky, fearing that they might be ambushed by any of the Chongshan Dao disciples who had not yet left.

Soon, the ruins of a collapsed house caught Chen Mu's attention.

Two mangled corpses lay on the ground next to the ruins.

A man with bull horns on his head and hands like lizard claws was cut in half at the waist.

The incision was clean and charred, yet surprisingly little blood flowed out.

Another person, dressed in gray shorts, had a large hole in his neck, and blood was flowing all over the ground.

"Is this the person who cultivates the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique?" Chen Mu stared at the bull-horned man.

"Train people towards becoming celestial demons?"

“That dragon…” A terrifying thought suddenly rose in Chen Mu’s mind.

Could that dragon have been created by a human?!

Train yourself to become a dragon?

The Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique... Amazing!
If only I could...

It took Chen Mu, who was still feeling excited, a while to come back to his senses.

"That level of secret technique is beyond my reach." Chen Mu shook his head and sighed, looking at the man in gray clothes with a complicated expression.

He honestly farmed the land, but unexpectedly, disaster struck.

The dream of pursuing the Great Way was suddenly shattered.

"Luckily, I hid on the Tongtian River." Chen Mu was still shaken.

This man in gray clothes and short jacket is definitely not an isolated case. Who knows how many more disciples from the lower monasteries will die in this attack?

"You're pitiful too," Chen Mu couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.

The air blockade was activated over a hundred miles, and a large crater was dug in the ground.

"Let dust return to dust, and ashes to ashes," Chen Mu sighed.

I glanced at the horned monster again.

"Although they are invaders, their willingness to fight and be aggressive is not their true intention; everything they do is in pursuit of the Dao." Chen Mu does not approve of this barbaric behavior, but he understands it.

"Forget it, whatever grudges we had in life, let's wipe the slate clean after death." Chen Mu dug a hole and buried the horned man in it.

He looked at the two graves and sighed, "You should be grateful you met me, otherwise no one would have collected your bodies."

After a moment of silence, Chen Mu turned around and looked with a sorrowful expression at the faintly lit Chicken Coop Road Lower Courtyard in the distance.

"This chaos came out of nowhere."

"Countless innocent people have lost their lives."

"Their path to immortality was abruptly cut off."

"Whether they are honest farmers or invaders from Chongshan Road, they are all just thinking about taking it a step further."

"With scarce resources, monopolized secret techniques, and hardships looming, pursuing dreams has become such a luxury and such a difficult task!"

Chen Mu felt a pang of sorrow as he thought of the hardships he had endured on his journey from Daliang.

"This wretched world always delivers a devastating blow unexpectedly, smoothing out people's edges and turning them into mediocre individuals."

A surge of immense courage suddenly rose in Chen Mu's heart.

"Dreams shouldn't just fade away like this!"

So he hooked his right hand, and the gray money bag he had just taken from the two men flew up.

He threw the bag into the Five Ghosts Bag and said to the two grave mounds with a serious expression, "I will lead you to pursue your dreams on the path of Tao, step by step, steadfastly!"

Then he went to the ruins of the house, where black smoke filled the air and seeped into the cracks, and he collected all the valuables.

“Not just these two, but also them!” Chen Mu turned his head and looked firmly at the entire lower courtyard.

"Rest assured, everyone, from this day forward, I will shoulder the responsibility for your dreams!"

"No matter how heavy or hidden that dream may be, I will help you find it, carry it with you at all times, and keep moving forward without stopping!"
