Zhongshan Shenzhu Chi

Chapter 76 Kidnapping

"Since Elder Tu can reach an agreement with that Zhongshan God, why can't he talk to us?"

'

The young man in white saw that Tu Die showed no intention of letting him in.

He simply waved his folding fan, and an invisible wave spread out.

Holding the memorial, Xiao Nuan, who had run over quickly, looked at the doorway in confusion, then pulled her hand away and rubbed her eyes.

"Sister Butterfly has run away again—" Disappointed, she turned and went back to the study.

"This little girl is quite intelligent; no wonder you like to keep her by your side," the man said, patting his folding fan in praise.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say," Tu Die said coldly.

"Actually, it's just some stuff about the Four Dharma Gates." The white-robed young man tapped his head with his folding fan. "Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter are, after all, human cities. Zhongshan God went straight for the city lord and destroyed the city's defensive array—"

Upon meeting Tu Die's piercing gaze, he immediately changed his tune.

"We can ignore all of that. If it wants to unify the drought relief efforts in Yongning Prefecture, we can fully cooperate."

.

"But we can't let that old fellow from the Four Methods succeed."

"Your Yongning City can't beat that old guy, so you need to call for reinforcements?" Tu Die replied coldly.

"It's all for the upcoming drought in Yongning Prefecture. Forget about calling for reinforcements." The man turned around, facing the red scale that was one meter in diameter.

"This guy is really skilled. He fought against the evil dragon of the East Sea and even killed that giant crocodile."

"So what? What's it to you?" Tu Die really didn't know about this.

The intelligence networks of the two cities, Qiu and Dong, have long been destroyed by the two city lords.

Seventy percent of the problems she's dealing with right now are fixing the mess her ex created.

Twenty percent of the data was from the review of information on people about to be executed.

Only one floor remains, which is where the city lord should handle his daily affairs.

"It openly opposes the East Sea Dragon Clan, which has given the human forces of Yunxi Continent a much-needed breather—" The white-robed young man turned his head and said with a smile.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Tu Die frowned.

She felt that the man in front of her wasn't there to see her.

"Elder Tu—no, True Man Tu." The man picked up his folding fan with both hands, bowed deeply, and said, "Please, for the sake of the people of Yongning Continent, ask the God of Zhongshan to come down from the mountain and subdue the demon."

"Mist Demon, the Four Methods have already—"

"You've come to the wrong person. There is no Zhongshan God here." Upon hearing this, Tu Die ignored the man's conditions, turned around, and closed the door.

A burst of flame suddenly exploded on the forehead of the man who was about to follow.

The terrifying heat frightened him so much that he dared not make a move and could only return dejectedly.

Tu Die, who was returning to her study, moved with great speed, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

What kind of bullshit is this about coming down from the mountain to subdue demons?

Isn't it all the fault of those guys in Yongning's main city who committed these sins in their struggle for power and profit?

Now that things have gotten out of hand, you're thinking of doing the same thing you did to that snake god three hundred years ago to this Zhongshan god, right?

After succeeding as the city lord of Qiudong City, Tu Die made a special trip to the archives of the two cities to search through the various events that had occurred in Zhongshan over the past few hundred years.

She was shocked when she found out what she was looking for.

The drought lasted for three years, and Yongningzhou was littered with corpses of the starved.

It was under these circumstances that the Xuan Snake God was persuaded by the people of Yongning Continent using the exact same words the man had just spoken.

He accepted the imperial decree and became a god.

As the two suns shone brightly in the sky and the drought worsened, he voluntarily swallowed the newborn sun in exchange for peace in Yongning Prefecture.

Then, he was subjected to the Tribulation of the Mysterious Stone and was eternally suppressed by the mountains.

When Tu Die saw these records, she couldn't believe her eyes.

There are truly beings in this world who are willing to give up their own path and their entire cultivation.

Would you trade everything, including your life, for a future that shows no gratitude?

And now, the exact same story is being presented to the current Zhongshan God.

The more Tu Die thought about it, the faster she walked, until she returned to her study with a gust of wind around her.

"Sister Butterfly, you look terrible—" Xiao Nuan raised her head when she heard the noise, but was so frightened by Tu Die's fierce expression that she shrank back.

"Grind the ink, I want to write a letter." Tu Die sat back down in her chair.

"Oh, oh." Xiao Nuan hurriedly tidied up the documents, then found the brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and carefully worked on them, not daring to breathe loudly.

Tu Die sat there, her mind becoming increasingly unsettled.

She wasn't like the Black Serpent God; she wouldn't sacrifice everything for some so-called greater good.

But this did not prevent her from admiring the Xuan Snake God who was willing to do so and put it into action.

And now, the red serpent has succeeded Zhongshan God.

Although he was a bit clueless about romance, a bit ignorant of human nature, and a bit domineering and unreasonable, his whole being was filled with the arrogance of a demon.

But at least it stands tall, and it really takes action when things get tough.

But just as she picked up the pen and was about to write on the entire blank sheet of paper...

Tu Die suddenly stopped again.

She will not write this letter, nor will she break her vow.

Moreover, the snake god was a demon, while the ones who suffered in Yongning Continent were humans.

She is a human being too.

If this letter is written and the Yongning human race truly suffers misfortune in the future—

"Oh well, whatever! I swore I was of one mind with that red serpent, so I should be one! What's with all this nonsense about what's real and what's fake?"

"I'm just writing a letter to let it know about what happened to the Black Serpent God in the past, what's wrong with that?"

"That's right, that's exactly it."

Tu Die muttered to herself as she picked up her pen again and wrote one delicate and graceful character after another on the white paper.

He was writing while talking to himself.

This woman, who was in charge of both military and political affairs in two cities, endured so many days.

In Xiao Nuan's opinion—she has finally gone mad.

Zhongshan.

The giant snake, carrying the reverse scale that had been with it since birth, returned to the mountain and water cave.

After the great battle, the Luo River washed away the bloodstains for half a day.

The Golden Ape King and the Green Tiger Mountain Lord, along with bears, dogs, and wolves, were stationed here.

His body was covered in wounds, several of which were so deep that the bone was visible.

The mountain king had a penetrating wound in his chest, and you could even vaguely see his beating heart inside.

The corpses of the giant alligator and the green dragon were dragged here by them.

The giant snake noticed the black bear and the prison wolf, and was puzzled by the two incongruous bumps on their heads.

"Candles, they tried to steal these two corpses, so I gave them a talking-to," Shan Jun said, his voice hoarse and trembling from exhaustion and injury.

In its eyes, the Azure Dragon killed by the Candle was a trophy that belonged exclusively to it.

Although the giant alligator was killed by the combined efforts of the five beasts, it still needed the help of the candle.

These two colossal beasts should be distributed by the candle.

"These two corpses are of little help to me, you can divide them up." The giant snake raised its head and changed its perspective.

Within Zhongshan Mountain, one can see many things that cannot be seen once outside.

For example, the strands of water that entwine around the Azure Dragon and the Giant Crocodile.

They seemed to be drawn to fly to the Far East, but were stopped by a spiritual force from the mountains and rivers.

"I was just worried about not having anything to weaken the sun—" Finally receiving some good news, the serpent's mouth split open, revealing a smile even more ferocious than a demon's.

The black bear and the prison wolf were so frightened that they immediately lay down, covering their heads with their front paws.
