Journey to the head

When the first rays of morning light rose, the melodious sound of whales floated over Mount Xiyi.

The giant whale that covered the sky and the sun carried the immortal cave of Taiyi Paradise on its back and escaped from the void, stirring up a strong wind for thousands of miles. The cultivators on Xiyi Mountain were terrified and pale.

The Five Turbidities True Lord was very puzzled, why didn't the Miaomiao Xuan Lord come out to greet him yet, why were there so few cultivators on the mountain, and why these cultivators were either trembling like sieves, or kneeling down to kowtow, or as if they had lost their parents, and there was no sign of the grand welcome as in the past.

Before she could ask, the protective formation of Xiyi Mountain had been removed neatly. The two Nascent Soul cultivators knelt on the top of the mountain, begging for mercy with desperate expressions.

Upon asking, one was found to be Qingyuan Sanren from Xuanwei School, and the other was Sikong Yang from Sikong Family.

Wu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and his already ugly face turned even darker.

It's over. Not only is Lu Qian missing, Mianlong Mountain is completely destroyed, and a tide of corpses is sweeping across the country. The situation in Cangzhou is worse than imagined.

I've only been the governor of the twenty-three western states for a few decades, and I haven't even had time to get comfortable in the position, but now I'm definitely going to be fired.

No, I'm too unlucky.
As the sound of the bell piercing the void resounded throughout Cangzhou, one after another phantoms of the primordial spirits rose up at the border of Cangzhou, completely sealing off Cangzhou. The decree of the Taiyi Paradise also spread with Cangzhou as the center.

1. From now on, a Cangzhou Corpse Chaos Incident Investigation Team will be established with Heming Zhenjun as the main envoy and Wuzhu Zhenjun as the deputy envoy. Before the investigation of Taiyi Paradise is completed, the entire Cangzhou will be closed and no cultivators will be allowed to enter or leave.

Second, Cangzhou monks should immediately stop all work at hand and make every effort to eliminate the zombies in the county. Those who eliminate the zombies quickly will be rewarded by Taiyi Paradise after passing the inspection of the investigation team, and those who are slow and ineffective will be severely punished.

3. After the corpse tide is annihilated, the independent cultivators will be disbanded first and return to their caves. The various sects in Cangzhou will count the war damage, including casualties among cultivators, casualties among ordinary people, damage to the mountain gate, etc., and report the results to the Yunshan Sect, Xuanwei Sect, Lingshou Sect, and Qinglian Zhenzong.

4. After clarifying the war damage, the leaders of Yunshan Sect, Xuanwei Sect, Lingshou Sect, and Qinglian Zhenzong led the team to Xiyi Mountain to meet with the Taiyi Paradise Investigation Team. While summarizing the situation of the whole state, they also cooperated in the investigation, sorting out the context, appealing and reporting, supplementing explanations, rewards and punishments, etc. Under the leadership of Taiyi Paradise, the final investigation conclusions and rewards and punishments were announced.

5. After the investigation team evacuates from Cangzhou, each sect will return to its own mountain gate, command an area, and orderly carry out tasks such as providing pensions to monks, resettling the people, clearing the ruins, and rebuilding Cangzhou.

When these orders were issued, the Cangzhou cultivators had already fought for a night, and the zombie tide had been basically controlled in most areas. Even though more than a dozen Jindan evil corpses eventually evolved, they were quickly wiped out with the joint efforts of the Jindan cultivators scattered around, and only a small number of low-level spirit veins were breached.

In the second half of the night, the monks were pleasantly surprised to find that the zombie tide had been significantly weakened. First, the strength, defense, endurance, and speed of all the zombies had all dropped significantly. The monks who were originally in a disadvantageous position quickly began to fight back, and those who were originally in an advantageous position wiped out the zombie tide like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Then the most important point is that the zombies have lost the ability to spread and the ability to evolve!
The corpse tide can only shrink and can no longer expand. High-level corpse monsters stop being born, which directly cuts off the possibility of the corpse tide continuing to wreak havoc from the root.

As the sun rose higher, wave after wave of monks exhaustedly stopped their magical instruments, talismans, and spells. At their feet were piles of corpses, and all the zombies within sight had been wiped out.

The subsequent extermination work will be even more tedious. Ninety percent of the zombies followed the breath of the living and rushed to human towns, gathering in one place and being killed, but there are many human settlements distributed among mountains, forests, rivers and swamps, and a small number of zombies plunged into the deep mountains, old forests, rivers and swamps.

The vast mountains and mighty rivers made searching and killing extremely difficult. Fortunately, additional explanations from Taiyi Paradise came at this time.

The birth of zombies originally requires extreme conditions. At present, the zombies in Cangzhou are the creations of the zombie clan's secret method, but now the secret method has been broken. These zombies cannot survive for a long time in the natural environment, and they will not exist for long. We only need to focus on the places where Yin gathers, bloody places, and miasma places to prevent zombies from lingering there.

All in all, generally speaking, the Cangzhou monks finally won the battle against the zombies.

But no one could cheer.

Nine out of ten houses were empty, with corpses piled up to the roof. Bones were exposed in the wild, and no roosters crowed for a thousand miles.

The zombie tide broke out too quickly and too violently. Even if the monks tried their best, they could only save large counties. In the end, only three or four out of ten mortals were saved!

In Cangzhou, there were tens of millions of mortals and tens of thousands of monks. As far as the corpse chaos was concerned, the loss of monks was not heavy, far less than the number of deaths in the war between Xuanwei Sect and Sikong Family.

However, nearly one billion mortals died in this disaster!

What a concept!
Mortals are the foundation of cultivators and the soil for spiritual seedlings. This chaos almost cut off the roots of Cangzhou! If it develops naturally, Cangzhou will be weak and completely decayed from then on.

Amid a stench so thick it could kill people, piles of corpses were set on fire one after another.

The monks covered their mouths and noses, some looked sad, some beat their chests and stamped their feet, some had numb expressions, and some felt nauseous and vomited. On top of the hundreds of feet high corpse mountains, they poured a large amount of talismanic water to drive away the plague, and then set the corpse mountains on fire, using talismans to drive the stench and black smoke into the sky.

At the same time, throughout Cangzhou, tens of thousands of corpse mountains were set on fire, and tens of thousands of black smokes wrapped in the weeping of wronged souls rushed into the sky, shrouding the entire Cangzhou in darkness again.

The surrounding prefectures were all shrouded in corpse smoke and stench. If it were normal, it would definitely lead to fierce conflicts. But now that Taiyi Paradise was in charge, who dared to say no? They could only hold their noses and use all the strength of the prefecture to whirlwind and cloud to disperse the horrible smoke and poisonous gas pollution.

After the burning, a mountain of corpses turned into half a mountain of charred ashes. The monks had no choice but to dig the ground and bury all the corpses.

Whose parents, whose wife and children, whose brothers and sisters are here? At this moment, they have all turned into a pile of burnt ashes. Perhaps, the loved ones were blown away by the wind, and the enemies of life were buried in a pile.

A brilliant life is all vain. After death, everything is meaningless. The meaning of life lies in life itself.

In Cangzhou, tens of thousands of earthen mounds rose up in one day, and under each mound were the tombs of tens of thousands of people.

The bones are burning and ghosts are crying every night.

After this cleansing operation, many monks either achieved enlightenment or went insane, and many even had mental problems.

The aftermath of the zombie rebellion has only just begun to appear.

On Mount Xiyi, in a stone chamber, True Lord Heming was drawing out a point of spiritual light from his forehead and injecting it into a jade slip.

He stroked the jade slip, thinking about how to report to the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon and the Immortal Lord Taogu later.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and True Lord Heming responded. True Lord Wuzhuo walked in and handed over another jade slip.

"That dragon explained everything very straightforwardly. How he contacted the Sikong family, provided financial support to the Sikong family, acted as their support, and instructed them to seize Yunshan Jiang Qingfeng. And how he personally went down to fight Lu Qian after the corpse chaos broke out. All the process is here."

Heming Zhenjun nodded, compared the jade slip with his own, and confirmed that the two confessions matched. He raised his head and sneered at the Yuanshen opposite him. "Tell me, are you a jerk?"

"If you don't tell me what I'm asking you, I'll punish you severely."

"He refused to speak freely. He only spoke a little after being tortured once and then endured five rounds of Yuanshen Needle Prison before he finally explained everything clearly."

"If you are tough, you should be tough to the end. If you are soft, you should confess quickly. You are soft but your mouth is tough. Tell me, are you just a slut looking for trouble?"

Yue Yuanjun's blue dragon body was lying on the side like a dead object. His soul was now trapped in mid-air. Stars of needles were bursting out from his soul. He was in excruciating pain and was almost torn apart by the torture.

Hearing the sarcastic words of Master Heming, his eyes widened, and his dim soul began to tremble again.

Me, me! Me@! #￥%￥&*&……

As soon as I came in and was about to confess, you covered my mouth and asked me whether I should tell you or not!

You tell me how to say it, teach me how to say it!
During the last torture, they only let me say two or three words, and then sealed my mouth again!
Five times, five times in total, please, can you please be a human being?
Feed me peanuts! Feed me peanuts!!!

"I have confessed everything." It was because my soul could not cry, otherwise Yue Yuanjun would be heartbroken. He no longer had any pride at all, and said humbly, "Please, for the sake of the peace treaty between the dragon race and the human race, let me go."

"Peace treaty?" Heming Zhenjun sneered, "Isn't it too late for you to think of the peace treaty now? Why didn't you talk about the peace treaty when you attacked the Yunshan Sect? It was you, the Dragon Clan, who took the initiative to betray the agreement. There's no point in regretting it!"

Yue Yuanjun tried to defend himself: "After all, we just want to lead the true dragon bloodline back to our clan, which is understandable. Besides, she is just a human Jindan cultivator. Not to mention looking at the human race, not to mention in your Taiyi Paradise, even in Cangzhou, she is not a rare figure. Is it really necessary to do this for her?"

"I accept being captured by you. Whether you want a ransom or compensation, my clan will definitely give it. But if you kill me, you're just provoking a war!"

"I am the direct descendant of Ya Zi. My great grandfather is the famous Dao Hai Jun! Even if it is Tai Yi Paradise, I don't want to offend him!"

As he said this, he became more and more excited, his courage returned, and his face became radiant again.

"I have said everything I need to say. Hurry up and report this to your superiors. Your Hedao Immortal Lord will definitely let me go!"

"Don't make mistakes, otherwise you will be blamed by your superiors and you will be in big trouble!"

Zhenjun Heming snorted and stretched out his hand to clench it!
"Ah!!!" Yue Yuanjun screamed loudly as illusory spikes pierced through his soul, causing him to spasm in mid-air in pain.

Wuzhu Zhenjun scolded: "You are not worthy of starting a war! What kind of moral character do you dragons have? Do you want me to tell you? Daohai Jun has given birth to so many descendants and spread out so many branches. You are just one of his hundreds of dragon descendants. Why are you trying to flatter yourself?"

"You have caused chaos in Cangzhou before, so why should I kill you? I want to see if the Dragon Clan is willing to declare war on my Taiyi Paradise and my human race just for you, a fool who doesn't know how to live or die!"

Yue Yuanjun immediately wilted.

No one understood better than him that given the current situation and strength of the dragon clan, they would never start a war easily.

Even though they have been keeping a low profile until now, the Dragon Clan and the Sea Clan together have six Hedao Immortal Lords, but they are still overwhelmed by the terrifying power of the six continents and the Immortal Meteorite Islands of the human race.

Even though humans are fighting among themselves all the time and their brains have become dog brains, once the Dragon Clan declares war on Taiyi Paradise, all human forces will definitely unite and take the opportunity to put the entire Dragon Clan and the Sea Clan on the table!
Therefore, for more than ten thousand years, all actions of the dragon clan had to be carried out in secret, in order not to actively destroy the agreement.

But then again, the human race is not united and they attack each other all day long. The dragon race also has a good relationship with the human forces on the Tianshu and Yaoguang continents. Before the dragon race takes the initiative to challenge, it is difficult for the human race to reach a consensus and declare war.

And the human combined power alone is no match for the entire dragon clan and sea clan.

So the two sides actually maintained this kind of relationship of mutual restraint and mutual fear. It was common for the dragons to cause trouble on the mainland and for the humans to hunt for spiritual treasures in the sea. As long as they didn't expose it to the public and didn't expand the conflict, both sides kept it to themselves and made do with it.

This is also why Yue Yuanjun was so sure that he had captured Jiang Qingfeng. After the matter was settled, Taiyi Paradise would not take any substantial action and would at most demand some compensation.

But now, it seems that this is not the case!

Moreover, compared to Jiang Qingfeng, Taiyi Paradise seemed to care extremely about Lu Qian who was beside her!

Then he heard Master Heming said in a cold voice: "To be honest, if you want to capture other people, maybe there is no need to kill you."

"But you just want to arrest Jiang Qingfeng, Jiang Qingfeng from the Yunshan Sect."

"The most important thing is that you almost killed Lu Qian."

"Lu Qian. Who is he?" Yue Yuanjun widened his eyes.

"Although that adult told us to ignore the Yunshan Sect, no matter what they said, we must have an attitude ourselves." Zhenjun Heming sighed slowly.

"Hey, if you don't listen to your superiors, that's called going against their will. If you listen to your superiors completely, that's called being a bad person. You have to carefully understand the deep meaning, and between listening and not listening, sell this favor. It's too difficult to be a subordinate."

He raised his head with infinite sigh and looked at Yue Yuanjun.

"You, in your next life, be smarter."

At this moment, Lin Le has already returned to the ruined Mianlong Mountain with some of the Yunshan backbones.

For the Yunshan Sect, the "one, two, three, four" issued by Taiyi Paradise must be implemented, but the primary task, the core of everything, is -

Looking for Lu Qian and Jiang Qingfeng. (End of this chapter)
