Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 330 Hanba is born
In the third year of the Republic of China, a severe drought struck Guanzhong, leaving the land barren and the fields littered with corpses of the starving.

This drought is unusual.

The two Golden Core cultivators, Maoshan Exorcist and Zhang Xudong from Longhu Mountain, then entered Guanzhong to investigate the cause of the severe drought.

This continued for half a month.

"Roar--!"

Suddenly, a terrifying roar of a corpse, which made heaven and earth tremble, resounded from the Qinling Mountains deep within the audience.

Immediately afterwards, two blood-covered, disheveled figures flew out of the Qinling Mountains as if fleeing for their lives. They were none other than the Exorcist Taoist and Zhang Xudong.

The werewolf looked extremely disheveled at this moment, with his clothes torn and covered in blood.

This is astonishing, considering that both the Exorcist and Zhang Xudong are Golden Core cultivators, already among the top figures in the cultivation world. Moreover, they are working together, yet they appear so disheveled.

Both the exorcist and Zhang Xudong looked lingering fear.

Because what they feared came true.

There really was a drought demon being conceived in Guanzhong, and judging from the situation, it was probably already in the final stage of transformation. Fortunately, the drought demon was still in the transformation stage and it was inconvenient for it to make a move, otherwise the two of them would probably have died in the Qinling Mountains.

The severe drought in Guanzhong this time is also related to the drought demon that is undergoing a metamorphosis.

Meanwhile, the identity of the drought demon that was undergoing transformation, as well as that of the exorcist and Zhang Xudong, had already been guessed.

But it was precisely because they had guessed it that the two of them felt even more somber, because if it really was that identity, then this drought demon would definitely have a chance to truly break through the suppression of the end times and successfully evolve into a drought demon.

After all, this drought demon was truly imbued with imperial aura.

"Damn the Qing Dynasty, even after the country was destroyed, they still dared to be terrifying. They are truly a scourge that lasts for a thousand years. I never thought that even after we destroyed their corpse-raising tombs, there would still be one like this hidden there."

Zhang Xudong couldn't help but curse.

"The only thing we can do now is to get the news back as soon as possible so we can discuss countermeasures together."

The exorcist also spoke up, inwardly cursing the Qing Dynasty to the core.

They've already lost their country, yet they still can't live in peace; they're practically harming people.

"I must thoroughly investigate this matter with both the higher and lower levels regarding the Manchu imperial family. It would be a disservice to the world if this person didn't get boiled alive."

Zhang Xudong continued.

The exorcist nodded in agreement, expressing his strong support for Zhang Xudong's suggestion.

Even after the fall of your Qing dynasty, you still want to harm people? Fine, I'll make sure you all suffer even in death. I'll send you all to the boiling oil and the eighteen levels of hell.

Immediately, the exorcist Taoist and Zhang Xudong rushed back to Maoshan and Longhushan respectively to report the matter urgently.
-
Republic of Singapore.

Star City.

Xingyun Mountain.

Inside the Maoshan Daozhen Temple, Uncle Jiu, Zhaixing, Simu, Qianhe, and the world's number one Mao are leisurely sitting together drinking tea.

"This life is so pleasant, this is what it means to enjoy life."

After taking a sip of tea, Mao Xiao, the number one tea master in the world, couldn't help but enjoy it. He was really growing to like the Republic of Singapore more and more. Not only was his daily life easy and carefree, but he also often got together with his brothers to drink tea and chat.

Most importantly, there is a high monthly salary and a formal position in the Sin Chew Daily government.

Uncle Nine, Zhaixing, Simu, and Qianhe, who were standing nearby, all nodded in deep agreement upon hearing this.

Since following Guan Shaoqing to Singapore three years ago, their lives have been truly comfortable. Apart from occasionally encountering some supernatural events that require their intervention, they are free and unrestrained all the time. Moreover, they have official Singapore government positions and receive a high salary every month.

Moreover, the living environment in Singapore is excellent.

If you want to escape the mundane world and live a peaceful life, just find a small island where you can face the sea every day and enjoy the warmth of spring and blooming flowers.

If you want to experience the hustle and bustle of the city, just take a stroll through Xingdu, and you will deeply feel what a modern and prosperous metropolis is like.

This kind of life is simply paradise.

"Singapore is developing better and better now."

"Yes, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have dreamed that the world would develop to this point." "If only the senior brother and the exorcist junior brother came to Singapore, their expressions would definitely be very interesting."

"I wonder what the situation is like in China."

"What else can happen? It's the same old story. Although the Qing government has been overthrown, the current Republic of China government is not much better. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people coming to Singapore from China every day. I heard that the population of Singapore has now exceeded 10 million, and the total population has reached more than 110 million. Many people even try to smuggle themselves into Singapore without a household registration."

"There are rumors circulating that our Republic of Singapore is already one of the most developed countries in the world."

"."

The five people drank tea and discussed things.

“Master, a letter has arrived from my four senior uncles and my eldest grand-uncle.”

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai suddenly rushed in, each carrying a telegram.

When Uncle Nine came to Singapore, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai also came here. Three years have passed, and the two brothers look much more mature and steady.

"what's up?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Nine curiously took the telegram and began to read it. However, after reading the information on the telegram, Uncle Nine's expression immediately changed.

"What's wrong, senior brother?"

Upon seeing this, Zhaixing, Simu, Qianhe, and Tianxia Diyi Mao also took the telegram with some confusion and began to read it one by one.

But after reading the information on the telegram, none of the four men changed their expressions.

Because the telegram clearly stated the severe drought in Guanzhong and the drought demon.

Moreover, even the identity of the drought demon was sent over, and the two large characters "Empress Dowager Cixi" were prominently displayed on the drought demon's identity.

However, the identity of the drought demon was none other than Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Wait a minute, wasn't Empress Dowager Cixi buried in the Eastern Qing Tombs? How did her body end up in Guanzhong and become a drought demon?"

Si Mu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

As is widely known, Empress Dowager Cixi's body was buried in the Eastern Qing Tombs after her death.

"It is obvious that the Eastern Qing Tombs are not the real burial place of Empress Dowager Cixi. It should be a fake tomb used by the Manchu royal family to cover up the truth. The real Empress Dowager Cixi was buried in the Qinling Mountains in Guanzhong, in order to make her a drought demon."

Uncle Jiu said.

"I never imagined that after we wiped out those zombies in the forbidden area of ​​the Manchu Qing Dynasty back then, the Manchu royal family had a trick up their sleeve."

Zhaixing took a deep breath; he truly hadn't expected the Manchu imperial family to have such a trump card.

Most importantly, the Manchu imperial family's plan has now actually succeeded. Empress Dowager Cixi has essentially become a drought demon, and is only waiting for the final transformation.

At this moment, Chizuru seemed to have thought of something and spoke up.

“Something’s not right. Rumors say that a drought demon has appeared, leaving the land barren for thousands of miles. How come the Republic of China government has never issued any announcements or reports about such a severe drought?”

"What else could it be for? Of course, it's to whitewash the situation. Although the Republic of China government overthrew the Qing Dynasty, it has been compared to Singapore all these years. Singapore is developing better and better now. If the Republic of China government doesn't whitewash the situation, wouldn't it make them look incompetent?"

Upon hearing this, the number one Mao in the world scoffed. He held the current Republic of China government in utter contempt, for he had returned to China several times in the past three years and knew the true nature of those people in the Republic of China government. On the surface, they shouted about fairness, justice, and national unity, but behind the scenes, they were only thinking of themselves.

"Alright, the affairs of the Republic of China government are none of our business. Let's get back to the main topic and discuss the drought demon. Our senior brother sent a message asking us to go back and assist in killing the drought demon before it completes its final transformation. Junior Brother Zhaixing and I will head back first. The rest of you stay here and inform Shaoqing about this matter."

"If we fail to prevent the drought demon from eventually transforming, then we'll probably have no choice but to rely on Shaoqing to deal with it."

Uncle Nine spoke up.

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Indeed, the drought demon is a terrifying existence corresponding to the levels of martial arts saints and cultivators' primordial spirits.

Even with the help of powerful Golden Core cultivators like Uncle Nine and Zhaixing, they could only manage to intercept the Western forces before the Drought Demon completed its final transformation and breakthrough.

Otherwise, once the drought demon has fully transformed, unless a Martial Saint intervenes, anyone below the Martial Saint level should not even consider attacking.
