Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

"hiss……"

As soon as Shen Xingzhuo finished speaking, saying "I'll play along to the end," a minor disturbance broke out among the crowd watching the sky screen.

The people of Tianxia had clearly grown accustomed to her somewhat arrogant and very confident behavior.

But to the foreigners who could only occasionally climb over the wall to see the sky over Tianxia Kingdom, this ostentatious act became a catfish effect, stirring up trouble in the pond.

[I've never dared to say this, but only when I see the celestial canopy of Tianxia Kingdom do I find the motivation to continue fighting against the strange phenomena.]

[Oh? Although we know this is all thanks to Sister Shen (Shen Xingzhuo Temple.jpg), please still praise her in detail!]

[Uh...it's just that I feel she has the ability to turn the tide in adversity. Every time we think she's in a dead end, it turns out it's nothing to her! Why don't we have such a powerful chosen one?! This is unfair.]

While I agree with your assessment of Sister Shen's strength and capabilities, the damage these difficulties have caused her may not be immediately apparent.

Who wouldn't want a chosen one like Sister Shen? But listen to this, foreigners: Sister Shen is excellent, but that doesn't mean the harm she suffered in the ghost stories can be erased simply because of her abilities.

If your chosen ones could see the comments, they'd probably be heartbroken.

Amidst the chaos of multiple rounds of barrage comments, the citizens of Tianxia Kingdom have found a perfect formula for responding.

This sudden appearance of a foreign comment certainly expressed envy for Shen Xingzhuo, a chosen one in Tianxia Kingdom.

However, it also led the people of Tianxia Kingdom to overlook the harm and crisis that Shen Xingzhuo suffered in the strange tales.

If this continues, and the people of Tianxia Kingdom no longer feel gratitude and respect for Shen Xingzhuo, then the temples that Guan Shanyue built for Shen Xingzhuo after the disaster will become interstellar junk.

Shen Xingzhuo's inability to accumulate merit in the supernatural tales means that her spiritual energy cannot be replenished in a timely manner.

Their sinister intentions are evident.

Fortunately, the citizens of Tianxia have matured considerably and are now able to respond effectively and independently to such provocations without official intervention.

……

The scene in the sky.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Shen Xingzhuo did not resort to Xuanmen techniques to fight head-on.

The spiritual energy within her body has more important uses, so it's impossible for her to waste it on such a simple test.

Please do not talk to strangers.

This is the third rule of the new regulations.

Don't talk to strangers, because that means strangers might appear on this straight road leading to the back of the mountain.

Shen Xingzhuo twirled the end of her hair in deep thought.

"What is now known is that regardless of whether I follow the course of action of the second rule, I will be heading straight for death."

"

"To advance is death, to retreat is also death. This ghost story is putting me on the hot seat."

She looked up at the end of the straight road.

Those ethereal spirits still linger, holding swords, spears, whips, and halberds, like a silent ceremonial guard, or a group of hunters waiting for their prey to walk into their trap.

"Strangers...you mean them, right?"

Shen Xingzhuo withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the three people behind him.

Pei Jinyu's complexion was relatively normal, but her brows were furrowed, clearly indicating that she was also thinking of a solution.

Madam Pei remained huddled at the very back of the line, her eyes fixed on the ghostly figures, her lips trembling slightly.

Pei Xi...

Shen Xingzhuo's gaze fell on Pei Xi.
