If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 1414 Qitian clan

However, while natural disasters are terrifying enough in this world, mortals are also resilient enough.

Faced with such a natural disaster, even without Grand Tutor Yu, martial artists can form a military formation and directly attack the center of the typhoon, even tearing apart the eye of the vortex and destroying the typhoon from the root.

In fact, at this time, in Fushan County, fifteen miles behind Grand Tutor Yu, more than three thousand soldiers of the county garrison had formed a military formation and transformed into a five-clawed black dragon a thousand feet long.

The black dragon lies between Fushan County and the coast, blocking the fierce winds and crashing waves.

They are all locals, protecting their hometown and their families.

Judging from their skillful movements, this was not the first time they had encountered such a natural disaster, and using military formations to fight against it had become a common practice.

"I did curse Ao Guang, but I was blaming fate, not Ao Guang himself. Ao Guang was just spreading disasters. Today, Fushan County will experience a typhoon of the highest level."

This is ordained by Heaven, an order personally issued by the Heavenly Court.

This has happened several times before.

If this is the will of Heaven, what reason do I have to kill Ao Guang?

Even if we kill him, the will of Heaven cannot be changed; other Dragon Kings will then bring calamity.

In fact, Grand Tutor Yu was quite satisfied with Ao Guang's actions.

Unlike the River God of last year, Ao Guang had very little initiative. He simply followed Heaven's instructions and did whatever it asked of him. After finishing, he stopped immediately, regardless of the outcome.

This is what Grand Tutor Yu hoped for the God of Disaster Relief.

It is impossible to expect the gods to directly disobey the Heavenly Court's orders.

Although a monthly salary of a few hundred yuan isn't worth risking one's life for, the price of disobeying divine will is high; one could truly lose their divine position and their life.

"If it's not for doing something shady in the East China Sea, what else would you be doing, sir?" Wang E asked.

"Clatter clatter~~"

Just then, the crisp sound of horses' hooves pierced through the hurricane and drifted to the sea.

Grand Tutor Yu glanced back at Fushan County and said, "I told you to go into Goubao, so go in quietly and don't say anything!"

Wang E was afraid of being slapped by her, so he could only transform into a beam of golden light and enter Xiao Qiang's "Heavenly King's Palace".

"Could it be Grand Tutor Yu of the Great Qin Dynasty in person? This humble general, Hua Wushang, pays his respects to the Grand Tutor!"

The newcomer rides a dark green "Sea Dragon Horse" with the bloodline of a sea dragon, which can ride on the waves.

They sped at almost half the speed of sound in a short time, and in the blink of an eye, they were on the cliff by the sea.

Everyone saw her and called her name, so Grand Tutor Yu couldn't just leave without saying a word.

She floated above the knight and laughed, "You call yourself 'this humble general,' why don't you state your official rank?"

The newcomer was a capable middle-aged general with a short beard, and a "田" (field) character totem was imprinted on his chest armor.

Looking at the beautiful female immortal with black hair dancing wildly in the sky, he was momentarily dazed before dismounting and kneeling on one knee, saying, "This humble general was originally the cavalry captain of the patrol battalion of Jimo (the capital of Jiaodong). Because the prefect surrendered to the State of Qi, this humble general was confused and went from being a cavalry captain of the Great Qin to the current cavalry general of the State of Qi."

Grand Tutor Yu sighed and said, "If that's the case, why have you come to see me? Should I give you a sword now, or a chance to return to Qin?"

Hua Wushang lowered his head and said, "The King of Jiaodong and the Great Immortal Gengsangzi are in Fushan County. They happened to meet the Grand Tutor this time, and with the Grand Tutor's help, they blocked the tsunami that was attacking Fushan."

The King of Jiaodong was filled with trepidation and overwhelming gratitude, and wished to host a banquet to express his thanks to the Grand Tutor. He wondered if the Grand Tutor would do him the honor of attending.

“Even that old codger Geng Sangzi is here,” Grand Tutor Yu said with a disgusted expression.

She knew that Jiaozhou Prefecture had become part of Qi.

After all, it took her more than half a month to forcibly reconstruct the geological features of Jiaozhou County.

She just cleaved the eye of the typhoon with her sword, thinking only of saving a few civilians from dying, without considering the Qin and Tian Qi dynasties.

If I knew that Tian Rong was hiding in Fushan, even if I didn't go out of my way to help him, I would still watch the show from the sidelines.

“I’m busy with official duties, so I won’t go to Fushan County. Tell Tian Rong that if he is truly grateful, he can send a thank-you gift to the Grand Tutor’s Mansion in Xianyang.”

Leaving behind these words, Grand Tutor Yu vanished into the dark, cloud-covered sky as a streak of blue light.

Hua Wushang let out a long breath, his face showing no disappointment or loss, only the relief and ease of surviving a disaster.

He nimbly climbed onto the horse, gently squeezed its belly, and "clattered" through the rain, quickly returning to Fushan.

"Grand Tutor Yu has left Jiaozhou County. The entire army is now on high alert. Return to the city to take shelter from the rain!"

Before entering the city gate, Hua Wushang shouted to the soldiers who were forming the Black Dragon Army Formation.

"Have you seen Grand Tutor Yu?" Tian Rong, fully armored, leaned out from the city gate tower and shouted down.

Hua Wushang leaped off his horse and landed directly in front of Tian Rong. He first clasped his hands in greeting before saying, "Grand Tutor Yu seems unaware that the Prime Minister is here."

They simply said that if you were truly grateful for her rescue, you should send a gift to the Grand Tutor's residence.

King Qi was Tian Shi, son of Tian Dan. Tian Rong was Tian Dan's younger brother, who was both the prime minister of Qi and the king of Jiaozhou.

Tian Rong looked annoyed. "Are you sure she didn't know I was here? Did she tell you herself, or are you just guessing?"

Hua Wushang said, “Judging from her expression, she was clearly stunned for a moment, and then her tone was somewhat mocking. She probably really didn’t know that the King was in Fushan County. With Grand Tutor Yu’s status and cultivation, there is absolutely no need for him to deliberately hide anything.”

Tian Rong breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the tall, thin strategist beside him and complained, "Kuai Che, you almost got me killed!"

Having already rebelled and now serving as the prime minister of Qi, he clearly had no desire to see Grand Tutor Yu again.

Yes, it was "again" dealing with Grand Tutor Yu, not the first time.

Last time, he and a group of heroes from all over China were gossiping about the "Lao Ai Rebellion" outside Xianyang City when they were spotted by Grand Tutor Yu, and the group of heroes fell into the "Infinite Nightmare World".

I traversed through the "infinite dreamscape" woven from the resentment of countless dead countless times, which is equivalent to experiencing countless "Nightmare on Elm Street" scenarios.

Even with Tian Rong's ruthless nature and unwavering will, he was left with severe psychological trauma. Now, he often wakes up from nightmares at night.

The reason he took the initiative to send a cavalry general to invite Grand Tutor Yu was based on one major premise: he believed that Grand Tutor Yu had already discovered them. Upon witnessing Grand Tutor Yu's sword that cleaved the sky and sea, he trembled and was already prepared to flee.

It was the strategist Kuai Che who stopped him, telling him not only not to run away, but also to prepare the highest honors and a grand banquet to thank Grand Tutor Yu for saving him and the people of Qi, and to warmly entertain Grand Tutor Yu.

Kuai Che looked at the East China Sea, where the wind and clouds surged and the water met the sky, and sighed, "I have also practiced Taoist arts and mastered several Taoist techniques. I have also heard about the various deeds of Grand Tutor Yu before."

But that sword strike that sliced ​​through the East Sea just now still left me speechless with shock.

If she hadn't slashed at the eye of the storm at sea, but instead turned around and slashed at Fushan County,

With only three hundred elite soldiers by the Prime Minister's side and tens of thousands of county soldiers gathered from Fushan County, can the Prime Minister be fully protected?
Moreover, the Prime Minister wondered if Grand Tutor Yu, with his profound knowledge of aura, could easily detect any unusual signs in the Prime Minister's aura through the art of observing qi.

She may not have noticed the Prime Minister, but there's a good chance she did.

She might ignore the prime minister, or she might casually swing a sword.

"Is the Prime Minister willing to gamble? Winning the gamble brings no benefit, losing it could cost him his life."

Tian Rong's anger faltered for a moment, and he said, "With the great immortal Geng Sangzi by my side, with all the immortal masters around, with three hundred martial arts experts, and with three thousand garrison soldiers, I might not be unable to exchange a few blows with Yu Fengxian."

Kuai Che nodded and said, "I thought so too before I saw that sword. But just now, more than ten miles away, I found myself, as well as the soldiers outside the city, trembling with fear in the aftershocks of the sword energy."

For the past six months, rumors have been circulating in the martial arts world that she has fallen into demonic possession. They say her demonic arts are formidable, and that a Grand Luo Golden Immortal of the Xuanmen sect had long ago created a divine incantation to counter them, making the Old Demon Yu no longer a threat. Alas, we seem to have forgotten that she possesses sword bones and was originally a sword immortal.

“Great Immortal Geng Sangzi is a powerful Golden Immortal! Even if he were to face him head-on, he would not be afraid of Immortal Yu Feng,” Tian Rong emphasized.

—At least the great immortal Geng Sangzi once confidently assured me.

"Hey, Yu Fengxian, you're shameless!"

Just then, a deafening shout came from inside the East Gate tower.

"The dignified Grand Tutor of Qin has so shamelessly turned into a servant, plotting to assassinate this humble Taoist priest!"

Immediately following the shout, a divine incantation resonating with the Great Dao resounded: "The Great Dao is boundless, embrace the primordial unity. The spirit returns to the Purple Palace, demonic thoughts extinguish themselves~~~"

The sound of the Great Dao resounded throughout heaven and earth, and traces of illusory laws appeared, causing panic in the hearts of the soldiers around the tower, who wanted to bow down in worship.

The next instant, a golden, exorcising light burst forth from the main hall of the tower.

It was as if a harmless nuclear bomb had exploded, and brilliant golden light shone through the windows and doors, brightening the dark sky.

"What? Yu Fengxian disguised herself and sneaked in to assassinate Immortal Geng Sangzi?"

Tian Rong was horrified and quickly hid behind the two immortal masters, hurriedly shouting, "Immortal Master Kuai, Immortal Master An, quickly, quickly take me away from Fushan, we must return to Linzi immediately. No, we must enter the East Sea immediately, the East Sea is right there, please ask the Dragon King of the East Sea to protect us!"

Kuai Che's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, his dissatisfaction with his newly recognized lord growing ever stronger.

—They don't even have the magnanimity to face Grand Tutor Yu directly; the Tian family is ultimately not a wise ruler! Perhaps they should find an opportunity to resign and leave?

However, in the Central Plains today, although dragons and snakes are rising up everywhere, a "true dragon" is still nowhere to be seen; although the Tian family does not have the "aura of an emperor in the southeast", they can be said to have a solid foundation in Qi and have the capital to dominate a region. Following the Tian family is at least safe and secure.

An Qisheng stared at the tower entrance, his eyes flashing with intelligence, and said, "Prime Minister, don't panic. If Grand Tutor Yu really did infiltrate, his target wouldn't be you."

Besides, you may have had a false alarm; Grand Tutor Yu is not here at this time.

"There is no Grand Tutor Yu?" Tian Rong was skeptical. After watching the golden light inside the tower disappear, he said, "Hua Wushang, you have met Grand Tutor Yu before, so you have a connection. Go in and take a look."

Remember, don't act impulsively. Even if you do see Grand Tutor Yu, don't draw your sword lightly.

"Do you think I'm stupid?!" I immediately knelt before Grand Tutor Yu. Why would I risk my life for a salary of only a few hundred taels of silver a month?

The former Qin Cavalry Commandant, now the Qi Chariot Cavalry General, harbored resentment in his heart, but loudly agreed, "This subordinate obeys the order. This subordinate will go down to investigate the situation immediately. If I see Grand Tutor Yu, I will certainly convey your regards to her."

Tian Rong raised an eyebrow: "Your attitude and ideas are quite good. But why are you shouting so loudly? Even the soldiers outside the city gate heard it and became nervous."

"What are you all afraid of? Come here!" came the displeased shout of Master Geng Sangzi from downstairs.

Tian Rong looked embarrassed, gestured to the general and the immortal master beside him, and called out loudly, "Daoist Geng Sangzi, are you alright?"

While calling out, they quickly entered the stairwell and ran to the small hall on the ground floor.

Aside from his slightly grumpy face, Master Geng Sangzi remained unchanged and unharmed.

However, one of the servants who was serving Geng Sangzi was lying on the ground, his teacup shattered, his tray thrown aside, and his face covered in blood. He tried to stand up but couldn't muster the strength.

"What's going on?" Tian Rong looked around, his gaze finally settling on the trembling servant boy with eyes full of terror. "Is this Grand Tutor Yu?"

The servant cried out repeatedly, "No, Prime Minister, look carefully, I am 'Tian An'! Esteemed immortal masters, I am really not Grand Tutor Yu, I don't even know Grand Tutor Yu, waaaaah~~~"

In the end, he cried, feeling wronged and scared.

"I wasn't talking about you, you can leave now!" Geng Sangzi waved her hand and turned her head away from him.

Tian An was stunned for a moment, then scrambled out as fast as he could.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

An Qisheng asked, "Fellow Daoist Gengsangzi, why do you suspect that Tian An is Grand Tutor Yu? We have already met her and even invited her to Fushan County, but she refused decisively and went west."

Geng Sangzi looked embarrassed, his lips moved a few times, and he said, "When Tian An came in with the tea tray just now, I immediately felt uneasy and in danger."

They also felt the crisis came from Tian An.

Thinking of Yu Fengxian's past actions, he suspected that Tian An was Yu Fengxian in disguise, and couldn't help but slap him.

"Why did you invite Yu Fengxian?" The topic changed, and the old Taoist's imposing manner immediately returned, his eyes becoming sharp. "Don't you know about my feud with her?"
"If it weren't to be her enemy, would I have given up my carefree life as a wandering immortal to come to the mortal realm and assist you, the Tian family?"

Although Tian Rong knew that Geng Sangzi was deliberately changing the subject, he still followed up and explained, "It was Kuai Che's suggestion. He believed that Yu Tai Yu Fengxian had already discovered that we were here."

Rather than passively waiting for an unknown outcome, it's better to take the initiative, treat them with courtesy, and thus restrain them from resorting to violence.

Geng Sangzi looked at Kuai Che and said, "You're daydreaming! What kind of person is Yu Fengxian? Would she be bound by reason and etiquette? That great demon kills whenever he wants, without needing a reason, just for his own pleasure."
