Journey to the head

After True Lord Heming, Miaomiao Xuanjun, Lu Qian and others moved away, the valley, which had expanded due to the violent collision between True Lord Heming's pseudo-immortal magic and the token scroll of Lord Zhuguo, immediately became quiet.

The surviving monks did not make any moves at first. On the one hand, they had not yet recovered from the shock of the most brutal battle in Cangzhou's history, the appearance of legendary characters such as the Overlord Sect and the True Immortal Messenger, and the shock of multiple reversals.

On the other hand, it was because the four Yuanshen Xuanjun summoned by Zhenjun Heming were still in the state of Yuanshen out of their bodies, monitoring the four directions.

But a moment later, the Thousand Miles Lianxu giant whale suddenly roared loudly, and its fins shook. A violent gale raged, leaving deeper scars on this already troubled land, and then it penetrated into the rippling space waves and disappeared.

The 30,000 or so surviving monks thought something bad was going to happen, and they were all nervous and terrified. Even though they were gathered together, they didn't feel safe at all.

The tragic scenes just now are enough to prove that in the face of powerful enemies and strange methods, if one’s cultivation is not enough, no matter how many people there are, they will just die.

But the four spirits guarding the four directions never moved, and everyone's anxious hearts gradually calmed down. After another hour or two, people finally began to talk or shout in low voices, and walked around cautiously, looking for their lost companions.

At this moment, Triumphant Spirit Lord Sikong Sheng received a new message. He glanced at it and was shocked and angry: "How could such a thing happen?! Shouldn't the Chongming Alliance team be on the field all the time?"

He gave an order and flew up, ready to lead everyone back to the Red Fort Thunder Boat. However, the Yuanshen Xuanjun who was guarding that location shouted, "Zhenjun Heming has ordered that no one is allowed to leave this place before the matter is investigated thoroughly!"

Sikong Sheng did not dare to act rashly and quickly saluted: "Mr. Xuan, we hurried here after the drastic changes here. This is not in the valley yet, so it should not be subject to restrictions, right?"

But the Xuan Jun glared and said, "This is a serious matter. As long as you are within my sight, you are not allowed to leave!"

Sikong Sheng had no choice but to turn off the engine and landed feeling depressed.

Faced with this sudden change, he hurriedly took the elite members of his family with him, leaving only a few Jindan men behind. The defensive mission was heavy and they could not be redeployed.

Damn it, are we just going to watch the Chongming Alliance grow bigger again?
On the other side, Yuanxu Lingjun also received the message, took a few glances at it, and handed it to Zhenren Youde.

Master Youde sighed, "The Chongming Alliance is so decisive and courageous! But Lu Qian is a man of extraordinary strategy. He should have thought that he would be severely punished afterwards and would have to reveal any results of the war. Why did he do such an unwise thing?"

"Lu Qian has been taken away by the True Lord." Yuanxu Lingjun said, "Perhaps this action was not directed by him."

“But several Jindan of Yunshan Sect have appeared in Hanjiangzhu, Mingjian Mountain and Amber Lake respectively. This is enough to show that even if Lu Qian did not directly command it, he supported such an action.” Zhenren Youde said.

"This action is too hasty. Now that Cangzhou has suffered such a disaster, the Chongming Alliance is acting like this. It is really taking advantage of the situation. Miaomiao Xuanjun will definitely be furious. How should the Chongming Alliance respond then?"

"Could it be possible that Lord Miaomiao Xuan would still protect them?"

Yuanxu Lingjun nodded and asked, "Youde, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"

Master Youde sighed and said, "Let's wait and see. Although we have a good relationship with the Yunshan Sect, we can't get involved at this time, otherwise we will be asking for trouble."

"At most, when Xuanwei Sect punishes us, we will say a few words on Lu Qian's behalf."

In fact, the Qinglian Zhenzong received the news faster than the Sikong family and the Lingshou Sect, and what they received directly was a letter asking for help.

However, since Feng He Zhenren, the leader of Qinglian Zhenzong, is not here, who dares to make the decision?

After several messages to Master Feng He, there was no response. When the people in the Qinglian Sect were in panic, suddenly Master Feng He's voice transmission conch came back, but it was the voice of Master Lian Yi.

He said that True Man Feng He was killed, True Man Tian Tian was killed, and he was the only one left among the five Jindan masters of Qinglian Sect who were watching the game!

The Qinglian Sect was devastated, and the sect was in chaos. The monks were in mourning. In the chaos, the letter for help was thrown into a corner, and no one cared about it.

The darkness gradually enveloped the entire valley. Seeing that the four Xuanjuns stationed on all sides would not let them leave and did not care about anything else, the survivors gradually took more actions.

At first, it was just searching.

When the sky curtain of evil was broken, the two evil spirits dissipated directly, and all the transformed golden elixirs died with bleeding from all seven orifices. The bodies of nearly 20,000 cultivators who were swallowed by the sky curtain fell from the sky with crackling sounds, and a rain of corpses fell between heaven and earth.

This scene became a nightmare that many monks present could never get rid of in their lifetime.

There were more than 50,000 monks watching the battle inside and outside the valley, but now, there are only more than 30,000 left!
This is a shocking number, which also means that most of the people present have relatives, friends, teachers and classmates who died in this disaster.

The crowd was rummaging through the corpses that were scattered all over the ground and in piles of different heights.

There were still many corpses buried under the collapsed soil. The monks used various means to open the soil, dig out the corpses and identify their identities.

Seeing those familiar faces, some had numb faces, some were crying loudly, some were overwhelmed with grief, and some even fainted.

For a moment, sobbing, wailing, and cursing could be heard one after another, and in the darkness of the night, it was as mournful and eerie as the howling of an owl.

Soon, things took a new turn.

Unexpectedly, someone took advantage of the situation and began to search for people they knew in order to collect valuables from the corpse!
Make a fortune from the dead!
When a scum was caught on the spot and people found more than a dozen storage bags on him, the hatred that had nowhere to vent suddenly burst out and swallowed up the man.

He was chopped to pieces by the angry people.

But greed knows no bounds. This person's exposure was just a fuse, not only involving more thefts, but also providing some hints to the survivors.

Some treasures that were once eagerly awaited may now be lying quietly on a corpse, waiting to be discovered.

The scene became more and more outrageous. Some monks finally found the corpse of their fellow disciples after much effort, but the moment they turned around, the corpse disappeared.
Since they didn't have enough time to steal money, they just stole the body.

The chaos spread further, and soon looting broke out, followed by fighting, gunfights, and bloodshed.
The monks from the four sects of Cangzhou who were present had suffered particularly heavy losses. How could they have the energy to maintain order?

When the four Yuanshen Xuanjun finally couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to stop it, ordering everyone to stay where they were and not to make any movements, the number of survivors decreased by another thousand.

The chaos and commotion were forcibly suppressed, and people sat among the corpses with different expressions. The only thing they could do now was to hope that Miaomiao Xuanjun and others would return soon.

"Since Xuanwei Sect has been offering immortal scrolls and guarding Cangzhou, it has been working diligently and hard. This time, they fought against the minions of the Heavenly Lord and never retreated until the end. They shed blood and sacrificed their lives to defend Cangzhou, and made great contributions. This is considered as a second merit and will be rewarded generously according to the rules!" "Reward, spiritual essence."

A True Lord Lianxu took the list from Immortal Lord Taogu and read it out loud.

The series of rewards made Miaomiao Xuanjun very happy and he thanked repeatedly.

Since it was to resist the erosion of the Sixth Heavenly Lord, Taiyi Paradise was naturally not stingy and gave a lot of rewards, or compensation.

This kind of reward is different from the one given to Lu Qian. It is given to Cangzhou Xuanwei Sect, or the entire Cangzhou. It focuses more on the development of the sect and includes a massive amount of cultivation resources.

What was given to Lu Qian was more focused on individual improvement, although Lu Qian would also put these into the Yunshan Sect's treasury so that the elites of the Yunshan Sect could enjoy them.

Therefore, overall, the rewards Lu Qian received were of higher quality, but the rewards Xuanwei Sect received were more generous in quantity.

Especially the last one, which made Miaomiao Xuanjun almost scream out in surprise.

"For the next three hundred years, Cangzhou will be designated as an 'unconquered state'. No state in Yuheng Continent will be allowed to initiate an invasion of Cangzhou!"

The unconquered state!

Lu Qian was also very happy.

Unless Cangzhou commits suicide by taking the initiative to attack and break its status as an "unconquered state", it will not be invaded by other states within three hundred years.

Any state that dares to take action against Cangzhou is resisting the holy judgment of Taiyi Paradise and will be severely punished by Taiyi Paradise.

In this way, Qingzhou, which was originally eyeing the enemy with eager eyes, could only hide its claws and fangs, put away its blade, and bide its time.

For the extremely weak Cangzhou, this was a chance to survive from a desperate situation, so how could they not be grateful and shed tears.

With the eighteen treasure ships from Taiyi Paradise and the generous rewards now, Cangzhou's overall strength will recover quickly. These three hundred years are a precious window of opportunity for saving lives.

Miaomiao Xuanjun and Qiancheng Lingjun have begun to think about what measures should be taken to quickly recover the four gates of Cangzhou and Cangzhou as a whole, which have suffered a huge blow.

As for Lu Qian, he can digest the generous rewards bestowed by Taiyi Paradise with peace of mind.

Taiyi Paradise is so grand and generous!
Rewards and punishments are clear and fair.

Even the Immortal Lord Lianhedao is so kind and amiable, and he even allows you to choose the type of elixir yourself. Taiyi Paradise is full of good people!
I can hold on to such thighs forever!

Among the rewards this time, the funds are used for savings and expanding the scale of production. The ten Creation Fire Pills and six True Talismans are all life-saving items. The mysterious skills and wonderful methods will be passed down from generation to generation. The magic weapons and spiritual weapon embryos are reserve arsenals. The innate spiritual pills can directly improve the level of cultivation, allowing the Yunshan School's strength to soar in a short period of time.

As long as there is enough time to digest these supplies, the Yunshan Sect will directly become the strongest sect in Cangzhou except for the four sects in Cangzhou!
The state that has not been conquered for three hundred years now has provided Yunshan Sect with a good external environment. As for the internal situation, the situation that Yunshan Sect was previously directly suppressed by Qinglian Zhenzong and Sikong Family will also be greatly changed.
Such a generous reward from Taiyi Paradise also represents recognition and love for Lu Qian and Yunshan Sect. Miaomiao Xuanjun and Xuanwei Sect will certainly treat it with caution and will not allow attacks on Yunshan Sect to happen again.

Of course, normal competition is inevitable, and Lu Qian is not afraid of this.

Now we must seize the time, strengthen our exercise, and turn the fat man into a strong and sturdy man.

After the rewards for the Xuanwei Sect were completed, it was time for internal rewards and punishments within Taiyi Paradise.

As an imperial inspector, Heming Zhenjun was also the direct suppressor and pursuer of the Forbidden Sect massacre. Although he failed to arrest all the members of the Forbidden Sect in the end, his merits outweigh his flaws and he is listed third in the list of merits.

Then Qiong Gao and Wu Zhuo, who assisted in the capture, were also rewarded.

Then came the punishment.

Liuxu Zhenjun was charged with dereliction of duty because he failed to detect the activities of the Sixth Heavenly Lord due to his poor management of his jurisdiction. And because his disciple Changqingzi bullied Lu Qian, and he was also accused of improper teaching and lax management of his subordinates, he was directly stripped of his post as garrison commander, forced to face the wall for 500 years, and other punishments.

Chang Qingzi committed a heinous crime. His body has been destroyed and his soul is suspended on a cliff to be tortured by the wind. It will take a hundred years for his soul to disappear. This is what he deserves.

The master of Liuxu Zhenjun, one of the Seven Stars of Canglong, was also questioned for the crime of "failing to manage his subordinates strictly".

At this point, the tone of the Cangzhou incident has been determined, rewards and punishments have been completed, and the entire incident has been basically resolved. We are just waiting for Miaomiao Xuanjun, Lu Qian and others to return.

Before returning, Taiyi Paradise held a banquet to celebrate.

The banquet this time was of a higher level, with more than ten True Lords attending. Even Taogu Immortal Lord came and sat for a while. Heming True Lord finally got to eat the dragon liver and phoenix marrow that he had been longing for, and warmly invited Lu Qian to taste it.

Compared with the immortal dishes and immortal wines that were beneficial to spiritual practice, Lu Qian was more surprised by the attitudes of the True Lords in Taiyi Paradise.

They were all very polite about themselves and had a somewhat odd, restrained enthusiasm.

Lu Qian could only think that it was his story about how he was granted the "Mirror Flower and Water Moon" by the Heavenly Lord and Taogu Immortal Lord's praise for him that influenced the other True Lords. He was not at all nervous, and raised his wine glass to toast everyone in the room, so that he knew all the True Lords present.

On the other side, looking at Lu Qian's back, Miaomiao Xuanjun drank a cup of wine, as if thinking about something.

Finally, after two days of waiting, the loud whale song was heard again in the sky, and the giant whale from Taiyi Paradise reappeared above the valley.

The four Yuanshen Xuanjun who were guarding here received the notice and returned to the fairy cave.

And thousands of feet of rosy light hung down from the back of the whale, and Miaomiao Xuanjun, Qiancheng Lingjun, Lu Qian and Chiyu Zhenren returned from Taiyi Paradise!

As soon as he landed, before Miaomiao Xuanjun could say anything, suddenly a Jindan fell to his knees with a thud.

He was one of the three Jindan from Huaiyou Alliance, a middle-stage Jindan from Qingyuan County.

"The Chongming Alliance disobeyed Lord Xuan's order to 'stop fighting' and launched a surprise attack. Huaiyou and Dongping counties have been breached and slaughtered. Blood has flowed like a river. Please save me, Lord Xuan!" (End of this chapter)
