Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 104 Qingjiang Wailing

In March, spring returns to the earth, all things come to life, and the dark clouds that have been hanging over the entire Qingyuan County finally dissipate.

Taiping Sect, Qingxin Cottage, Jiang Chen was quite satisfied looking at the two fully formed demon skins in front of him.

In addition to his own practice, he spent some time and successfully refined the skins of the turtle and snake monsters.

"Compared to the monsters in the Inspiration Realm, the remnants left by the Qi Training Monsters are much more ferocious. If it weren't for my strong soul power, it would not be so easy to refine these two monster skins."

Carefully sensing the status of the two demon skins, Jiang Chen heard the roars of the turtle and snake demons.

Compared to the iron corpse demon skin he had refined before, these two demon skins were much more perfect in terms of refining techniques and the final regret seal.

"If they can truly control the power of these two demon skins, the two old men, Black and White, should be able to possess combat power comparable to cultivators in the early stages of Qi training."

With his thoughts turning, Jiang Chen put away the two demon skins.

And at this moment, for no reason, he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

"What happened..."

His expression changed slightly, and Jiang Chen looked outside Qingxin Cottage.

The next moment, he rose up with the wind and arrived at the Muyu Island. At this time, the sky was clear, the grass was lush, and the birds were singing. It was a peaceful scene. Only the fish in the Mihun Bay were particularly active, jumping out of the water one after another, as if chasing the sun.

"What went wrong?"

The throbbing in his heart never subsided. Jiang Chen fully expanded his perception and scanned the surroundings, trying to find any discord, but found nothing.

Just when he thought that his perception was unreasonable, he seemed to hear a wailing sound similar to a dragon's roar coming from afar.

"There's a problem with the Qingyuan River."

There was a mysterious sensation in the dark. Jiang Chen realized something and suddenly turned his gaze to the seemingly calm Qingyuan River. This sensation came so unexpectedly, but it was so real and so clear.

"Hongyu, Wang Yuan, Shouhou, Cao Banshan, the two old men, black and white, come see me quickly."

Jiang Chen gave orders through the transmission of true Qi. At this critical moment, he chose to obey the mysterious feeling.

Hearing this sudden voice transmission, Hongyu and others raised their heads in surprise. They clearly felt the solemnity and urgency in Jiang Chen's words, and they had never seen such a Jiang Chen before. In their eyes, Jiang Chen always seemed calm.

After realizing this, they all put down what they were doing and rushed to where Jiang Chen was as soon as possible.

"Something's happened in the Qingyuan River. Floods are likely to sweep across the river. We need to respond immediately."

"Hongyu, immediately organize people to rush to harvest the spiritual rice in the spiritual fields. Don't worry about the losses, harvest as much as you can."

"Wang Yuan, Muyu Island is too close to the Qingyuan River and the terrain is not high. You must immediately organize people to relocate and retreat to the outskirts of Jiming Mountain."

"Cao Banshan, Shouhou, go to Qinghe County and inform the guild to prepare for flood control. If anyone dares to stop us, we will kill them!"

Without any nonsense, after Hongyu and others arrived, Jiang Chen directly assigned the tasks. When he said the last sentence, his expression was extremely cold and stern, no longer as gentle as before.

Hearing this and looking at Jiang Chen like this, although there were many doubts in their hearts, Hongyu and others immediately bowed in response. It was at this moment, as if to confirm Jiang Chen's words, a bolt from the blue struck, the wind and rain suddenly changed, and rolling dark clouds spread, instantly blocking out the sunlight. The entire Qinghe County, no, the entire Qingyuan County, was darkening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It seemed as if there was a demon in the sky, swallowing clouds and spitting out mist, constantly driving away the dark clouds, which spread out inch by inch, expelling the sunlight and occupying the sky of Qingyuan County.

“It’s really here…”

Spreading out his palm to catch the first drop of rain, Jiang Chen's expression was extremely solemn. At this moment, he was sure that his perception was not wrong, he really heard the wailing of Qingyuan River.

"Is this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster..."

Protected by the invisible true energy, Jiang Chen let the rain fall. His sight passed through the hazy mist, as if he wanted to see something clearly.

Boom, thunder exploded, and a blue-purple lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the sky and Jiang Chen's face. It really made people wonder what he was thinking. This change came too suddenly, forcing him to doubt.

"I hope it's not too bad."

A thought came to his mind, and he withdrew his gaze. Jiang Chen personally took action and collected all the Cold Star Shells in the Mihun Bay. There were too many things to do next, and even he couldn't sit idle.

When the Taiping Sect began to take action, the hazy drizzle in the sky had become thicker, and in the afternoon it turned into a downpour. At this moment, it seemed as if a big hole was torn in the sky, allowing the endless water from the Milky Way to pour into Qingyuan County.

Just like that, after just one day, the flood broke out, rushing down from the source of the Qingyuan River. Wherever it passed, the rocks collapsed and countless lives were swallowed up.

Faced with this sudden flood, all the forces in Qingyuan County seemed to be at a loss. For a while, they were unable to come up with any good response and could only let the flood wreak havoc.

In the county seat of Qingyuan County, the magic circle was in operation, and invisible spiritual light spread, blocking the wind and rain from the sky, but this was the limit.

"This rain came suddenly..."

Standing on the pavilion and gazing into the distance, the County Magistrate Qi Xiuning had a gloomy expression, as if he was thinking about something. He had a thin face and looked to be in his forties or fifties, with deep wrinkles on his brows and two strands of white hair hanging down at his temples. He was wearing an indigo robe embroidered with cranes and green pines. He looked more like a monk than an official.

Just at this moment, a servant rushed in from outside. There were two talismans stuck on his legs. His figure was floating and moving at an extremely fast speed.

"Sir, the Lu family has replied, saying they hadn't noticed any anomalies with the Qingyuan River before. Now, the Lu family ancestor has come out of seclusion and personally went to the Qingyuan River to investigate the anomaly and sort out the water veins, hoping to contain the flood as much as possible."

He bowed down and the servant handed him a letter with both hands.

Hearing this, Qi Xiuning took the letter.

"What's going on with the rest of the Lu family?"

After taking a casual glance at the letter, which contained only some common wording, Qi Xiuning spoke again.

"Many of the Lu family's businesses are located in areas with well-developed water systems. This time, the floods hit the Lu family hard. Almost all of the Lu family's cultivators are now out, trying to recover as much as possible. Among them, Lu Xuanping is organizing people to provide relief to the poor."

Having been prepared, the servant immediately reported the relevant information one by one. Although he was a slave, he was also a cultivator and was highly valued by Qi Xiuning.

Hearing this, Qi Xiuning frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
