Chapter 942 The twisted truth, the mastermind behind the scenes (4k)

Looking at the exploding blood mist, Yu Chen had a cold expression.

He had already noticed something was wrong.

Or in other words, from the moment you enter this village, everything reveals two words.

——Weird.

First, he noticed that all the living creatures on the mountain of corpses, although they were dressed in linen clothes and dressed like ordinary people, and looked honest and simple, but the remains of flesh and blood were filled with the rich Qi of heaven and earth.

In other words, they were all Qi cultivators during their lifetime.

——This is not what should happen in a small village isolated from the world.

In addition, when he saw the six burly men, he also felt that they had no skills at all and were at most physically strong.

And the "common people" on the mountain of corpses were at least Qi-cultivating practitioners who opened the sea. In this case, those stupid big men could not be the "murderers" who massacred this village.

What's more, the wreckage on the pile of corpses had neatly cut surfaces, while these six burly men were all using weapons like hammers and axes, so the two were totally incompatible.

So it can only explain one problem.

The real murderer is someone else.

When Yu Chen saw the seemingly weak woman, he saw through her abilities at a glance.

——The divine sedge.

At that moment, it dawned on me.

——A true hunter always appears as a prey.

Although that woman was at the level of a god, and compared to those six stupid and burly men, she could be considered a god-like figure, but compared to him... she was really not good enough.

Therefore, the moment she attacked Yu Chen, her defeat was doomed.

After the blood mist exploded, countless starlights floated out from the woman's body and fell on the ground.

At the same time, a soul without touching the ground rose from the place of its death, as if pulled by an unknown force, and rose into the sky.

Yu Chen looked up and waved his hand. An even stronger pulling force burst out from his hand, imprisoning him tightly.

Pull it in front of you.

The face of the woman's soul suddenly showed shock, confusion, and horrification!
"I can't let you leave like this." Yu Chen looked at her, shook his head and said.

——Actually, Yu Chen still had only a vague understanding of Wutong Island. What was the Nine Heavens, the heavenly punishment, the fratricide, the destiny star... He had only heard the basics of everything.

He needed more information, so the woman in front of him, who although had little Taoism skills but was obviously well versed in worldly affairs, should be the best person to answer.

At this moment, in the woman's eyes, Yu Chen had completely changed.

From a gentle and elegant young man, he turned into a majestic figure wearing an imperial robe and a crown! The fear from the depths of her soul made her tremble!

"So... tell me everything you know." Yu Chen stared at her and spoke softly, "--You were the one who massacred this village, right? Those six unfortunate guys were just prey that accidentally strayed into your hunting."

The woman was originally trembling with fear, but when she heard the words "village" and "massacre", a trace of undisguised hatred flashed in her eyes.

Yu Chen saw this emotion and raised his eyebrows, wondering if there was some hidden secret.

"Village? Sir, this is not a village, this is... a demon's cave." The woman took a deep breath and spoke.

Yu Chen narrowed his eyes, "If you lie, you can't fool me."

"I'm already dead, and it's all over. Why should I lie and deceive people?" The woman seemed to have come to terms with it. Although she didn't know why the young man in front of her could talk to her dead self, she was already dead, so what was there to be afraid of?
"This world... is just like this."

After a long sigh, the woman began to tell the story.

From her narration, Yu Chen also roughly understood the specific situation of Wutong Island.

Wutong Continent is divided into nine heavens, but although it is called nine heavens, it is better to say that it is nine different dimensional small worlds.

The first heaven is at the lowest level, and most of the people living here are mortals and second-rate Qi cultivators.

And at the highest ninth heaven, there exist those terrifying creatures who can burn the sky and boil the sea with a thought, and make clouds and rain with a flip of their hands.

——Of course, it’s just a rumor. This woman has never been to the Ninth Heaven.

It is said that many of those guys are already close to the realm of "God". As long as they cross that realm, they can ascend to the upper realm and truly become "God" without having to suffer the punishment of heaven.

Originally, among the Nine Heavens, each layer did not interfere with each other - mortals or Qi-refining practitioners of low cultivation could not ascend to higher heavens, and in most cases, the powerful beings in those higher heavens would not have the slightest interest in the barren lower heavens.

So, it has always existed like this. In every heaven, there are struggles and fights, but the world as a whole can be considered peaceful.

But until a few years ago, the era of heavenly punishment arrived.

The era of divine punishment that occurs once every hundred thousand years arrives suddenly.

From that day on, every living being, no matter if it is human, demon or beast, was assigned a "life star" according to its level of cultivation. Ordinary mortals had one life star, while the powerful ones had more life stars.

Then, a voice that echoed almost throughout the entire Ninth Heaven resounded in the ears of all living beings - or, in other words, with the arrival of the Destiny Star, it echoed in the minds of every living being.

——Living beings are born with sin, they pollute the heaven and earth, defile the spiritual energy, and disrupt the order, so the gods decided to start an era of heavenly punishment once every 100,000 years.

Once the heavenly punishment comes, all living beings in the Nine Heavens will be reduced to ashes, both their body and soul will be destroyed.

But God is merciful.

If someone can gather enough destiny stars, they can embark on the path to godhood, ascend to become a god, and avoid heaven’s punishment.

Then, without any warning, the chaotic times began.

Brothers killed each other, fathers and mothers were murdered, masters and apprentices fought to the death, all for... fighting for the life star, fighting for the opportunity to reach a higher heaven.

——Because the destruction of heavenly punishment begins from the first layer of heaven at the bottom.

Even if it is impossible to become a god, one must seize more life stars and reach a higher level of heaven and earth.

So, they killed each other.

No matter if it was a human, a demon, or a monster - all the original order was disrupted in an instant, and killing became the most common thing between heaven and earth.

The first to suffer were naturally those honest mortals who were powerless. After only a few months, they were almost all slaughtered. After listening to this, Yu Chen took a deep breath.

——Isn’t this just... a real-life version of PUBG?
At the same time, he also had some...guesses about the operating logic of Wutong Island.

First of all, what the ancient immortals want is naturally "incense", which is the "food" transformed from the souls of living beings.

The richer the experiences of these souls, the deeper their obsessions, and the greater their emotions, the more delicious they are to the ancient immortals.

Therefore, the so-called "god" is probably the person in the temple that controls Wutongzhou.
They raise them like livestock, raising them for a hundred thousand years before slaughtering them.

In the chaotic era of heavenly punishment, in the terrible world of cannibalism, heroes, demons, and tyrants are most likely to emerge... It is also in this cruel and terrible era that the souls of living beings can experience enough "great sorrow and great joy" in a short period of time, making the incense more delicious and richer.

"Then what do you mean when you say this village is a devil's den?" Yu Chen continued to ask.

"My lord, the Era of Heavenly Punishment has been here for three years. Do you think that in this chaos and slaughter, a mortal village... can survive for three years?"

The woman sneered: "--This is not a mortal village at all. This is... a bait to lure guys like those six idiots to gather here so that they can collect their life stars."

After hearing this, Yu Chen suddenly understood.

No wonder when he arrived just now, he saw that the remains of the corpses were filled with the Qi of heaven and earth, and none of them were simple mortals.

The woman continued, “Three years ago, when the Heaven Punishment Era had just begun, I fled the city with my parents and husband. When we passed by this village, we saw that the people there were simple and honest, so we decided to rest for a night.

But after entering the village, I found that they were all those... murderous demons! Once they got close to their prey, they would be brutally killed!
I saw with my own eyes my parents, my husband, and the servants having their throats cut by a knife, with blood gushing out. And those so-called villagers looked at me with mocking, indifference and sarcasm, as if they were watching pigs and sheep being slaughtered.

Finally, it was my turn, but I was not destined to die. A powerful man from the upper heaven descended from the sky and said that I had the physique of a furnace. He took me away forcefully and took my energy day and night. In order to make my mortal body last longer, he let me embark on the path of cultivation, and by the way, I could also help him fight and kill.

During that time, I felt like I was living a life worse than death, and I also understood that I would never be able to escape his clutches in this lifetime!

But there is always a way out. Not long ago, he was seriously injured in a fight with an enemy. Although he escaped with his life, he was dying on the way back to the cave.

I buried him, took away all his skills, magical powers, and resources... and returned to the cave to practice in seclusion.

But because I was violently led to the path of cultivation, my traces were damaged, so I can only cultivate to this extent. "

After a pause, the woman took a deep breath, her eyes turned cold and hateful: "——I have made some progress in my cultivation, the first thing I have to do is naturally..."

"Revenge." Yu Chen said.

"Yes, I will return to the Ninth Heaven, to this village, and kill all these demons... just like they killed my family!" As the woman spoke, there was a look of satisfaction in her eyes, as if she had no regrets at all.

Yu Chen was silent.

He didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns behind it.

This woman is also a miserable person...

Because of that damn era of natural disasters, families were broken up and people were displaced.

In the end, he was rescued, but was subjected to endless sexual exploitation and torture.

Fortunately, he finally escaped from the clutches of the devil and at least avenged his blood feud.

"What's your name?" Yu Chen asked.

"Zhang Xianzhi." the woman replied.

"I pity your misery." Yu Chen said, "But I don't regret killing you. It was you who wanted to kill me first."

The woman who called herself Zhang Xianzhi nodded, "That's not your fault, it's my fault - I mistakenly thought that you were the real owner of this village, so I came here after I massacred the village."

Yu Chen was stunned: "The real owner?"

"My lord, these...are all true desperadoes. Although their realms and cultivation are not high, they are ruthless, cruel and vicious."

Zhang Xianzhi pointed at the huge mountain of corpses and said, "——But three years have passed, from the first time I saw them to now when I killed them with my own hands, but they haven't had any internal strife or killed each other. In this world where people eat each other, do you think this is possible?"

Yu Chen frowned.

According to Zhang Xianzhi, this era of Heavenly Punishment is purely to encourage all living beings to kill each other. In such an environment, an honest person may become a demon, not to mention the ruthless people in this village.

But they have been able to remain...relatively stable.

There is probably only one reason...

"Impossible." Yu Chen replied: "Unless there is a more powerful existence suppressing and restraining them so that they dare not have any dissenting thoughts."

"Yes, it is the...real master." Zhang Xianzhi said, "When I was rescued from the devil's cave in this village, I begged the great power who took my essence to avenge me.

He then said that this village was under the jurisdiction of a certain difficult guy. That guy was not a creature of this realm, but he created many such baits in this ninth realm to help him collect life stars.

If it was just this village, he could destroy it with a wave of his hand, but he didn't want to provoke the troublesome guy behind it.

So when the lord showed up, I instinctively thought you were the mastermind behind the murder of this village, and I killed you. At first, when you asked about the fate star, I thought you were pretending, but now it seems that you probably really don’t know anything, so... you are not him. "

Speaking of this, a trace of regret appeared on Zhang Xianzhi's face.

She took revenge by killing the entire village, but she failed to kill the real mastermind behind the incident and died.

But the next moment, she seemed to suddenly remember something, her expression was startled, and she said, "Sir! Since you are not him... then he... may be coming! Go!"

She is not a bad person by nature.

Even after escaping from the clutches of the devil, he did not kill innocent people, only the evil ones like the six burly men. So after realizing that he had misunderstood Yu Chen, he felt quite guilty.

Now I suddenly react.

Since Yu Chen is not the master behind this bait village, the real mastermind will probably not let it go after knowing that his bait has been destroyed!
"You're a nice person." Yu Chen looked at her and said with a smile: "--but I'm afraid it's too late."

Zhang Xian was stunned.

"somebody is coming."

Yu Chen raised his head and looked towards the east.

The night faded away and the sun rose over the horizon.

Along with the rising of the sun, a terrifying figure, wrapped in endless blazing flames, stepped into the air from the sea of ​​fire!
