After a deafening roar, the blood dragon that had devoured the Blood Fiend True Lightning exploded in mid-air, causing the already unstable Zhang Jiao to instantly dissipate.

Lin Zhu heard Zhang Jiao's voice in his ear, "What a skillful move, what a furious question to the common people! This time, the old Taoist priest was outmaneuvered."

"You're too kind, Great Teacher." Lin Zhu said as he absorbed the blood energy to replenish his strength.

His attack collided with the Blood Fiend Thunder summoned by Zhang Jiao, killing many soldiers, including the Yellow Turban Army and the Taiyuan City garrison.

While dealing with the enemy, Wang Yun also kept an eye on other matters, pondering to himself, 'I never expected that there would be such a fierce general in my Taiyuan city. I wonder if I can subdue him.'

Don't underestimate Lin Zhu's military skills just because they aren't high; it depends on who you compare him to.

In the Han Dynasty, generals who can cultivate to the point of awakening their battle spirit, which is the first realm of laws, are extremely rare, numbering only a handful.

A martial general of the Nine Heavens Immortal level is one in a trillion.

The Southern Continent is vast, but most of it is uninhabited. Only areas protected by city-protecting formations and divine protection are inhabited.

It is equivalent to a life-bearing planet in the vast universe.

From this perspective, Dongsheng Shenzhou is more popular.

However, in terms of order, Jambudvipa (the southern continent) is still superior.

After all, the size of a city can expand as the population increases.

As Zhang Jiao's incarnation of destiny was dispersed by Lin Zhu, the Yellow Turban Army's offensive slowed down.

However, if no reinforcements arrive for a long time, Taiyuan City really cannot be defended.

At that moment, Liu Hong, who was lying in the harem, shuddered, felt a sweet taste in his throat, and almost spat out blood.

The fortunes of the world shifted again, and his face paled slightly. After carefully sensing the situation, he realized that Taiyuan City was about to fall.

"Damn it, how come there are Yellow Turban rebels even in Bingzhou?"

He hurriedly ordered his men to summon General He Jin and instruct him to send an army to Taiyuan to provide support, to ensure that Taiyuan was defended and that the Yellow Turban Army would not be allowed to seize the destiny of such a royal city again.

After Lin Zhu dispersed Zhang Jiao's aura, he broke through the Yellow Turban army's encirclement at an extremely fast speed. The long spear in his hand was sharp and unstoppable, and none of the Yellow Turban soldiers in front of him could withstand a single blow from his spear.

Although the grand formation of Taiyuan City was broken, its anti-flying attribute remained, preventing Lin Zhu from flying.

Just after he broke through the encirclement, a golden light appeared on the horizon, and the power of merit entered his body.

It is one mu in total.

After rushing tens of millions of miles out of Taiyuan City, Lin Zhu stopped. "Something's not right. What's going on with this merit? What did I do?"

He killed a lot of people, and many others died as a result of his battle with Zhang Jiao. Why did he not lose merit points, but instead gain them?

The merit of one acre is not insignificant; it can be exchanged for the opportunity to obtain a low-grade innate spiritual treasure.

As long as he's willing to expend the resources, the opportunity to obtain a low-grade innate spiritual treasure can be delivered to him. Once he finds it, he's guaranteed that no one will be able to compete with him for it.

His confusion lasted only a short while before he understood why.

His lips twitched, followed by a look of displeasure, and he couldn't help but mutter, "So stingy and cunning."

Chapter 849 Yuan Shi's Helplessness

Before the words had even finished, a bolt of purple lightning, three zhang wide, struck down.

Lin Zhu took the blow without dodging or flinching, which completely stunned him.

The laurel knew something was wrong the moment he said those words, so it quickly burrowed into his body and shouted, "Shut up, little bamboo!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong!" Lin Zhu shouted loudly towards the sky, because an even larger bolt of purple lightning was about to strike down.

This is not the time to argue.

His whole body is numb right now, and he definitely won't be able to take another hit.

Perhaps because of his good attitude in admitting his mistake and his abundant merits, the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning in the sky shrank tenfold, becoming only one zhang wide.

Lin Zhu was chopped down again.

The pain this time was no less than that of the first divine lightning bolt; all the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning within his body was drawn out.

He could only sit cross-legged on the spot, with the Ninth-Rank Creation Green Lotus under his body, trying his best to absorb the power of the Purple Heaven and accumulate it into the Thunder Dragon Undying Tribulation Pattern.

He really wanted to complain in his heart, but he didn't dare to.

After three days and three nights, the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning within his body was finally completely absorbed, and his physical strength also increased significantly.

"You can't control your mouth, you even dare to criticize the will of heaven and earth."

When Yuegui came out at this moment, she looked at Lin Zhu's afro and felt a little smug.

An invisible ripple flashed across Lin Zhu's body, and her hair was once again bound by the purple lotus hair crown.

"You're so disloyal." He sighed as he looked at Laurel.

Yuegui was speechless for a moment, then rolled her eyes in a very cute way, "I'm just an avatar, and I'm really weak, okay! By the way, why is He giving you merit points? That shouldn't be the case!"

Lin Zhu explained, "Aren't there many restrictions on those who achieve immortality in the Southern Continent? I found a loophole and learned the art of war. After gaining cultivation in the art of war, I was no longer subject to any restrictions. Heaven and Earth were moved and perfected the rules, and I was credited for this, so I was rewarded with one acre of merit. After that, in this place, unless I fight against the Blood Beast, I will still have to deduct merit."

"I see." Laurel nodded, then leaned close to Lin Zhu's ear and asked cautiously, "Then why did you mention that about Him?"

Lin Zhu turned her head and saw the little one with wide eyes and a curious expression, looking so cute that she wanted to take a bite.

However, this is the incarnation of a laurel tree, and should not be offended.

He further explained, "Can't I absorb the Dao essence of top-grade innate spiritual roots for my own use? That's equivalent to being able to replicate ten top-grade innate spiritual roots. This rule is not perfect."

Yuegui suddenly realized, "If that's the case, how much merit would He have to give you? Anyway, since only you can succeed, He really can't give that much. With that much merit, you could directly merge with the Great Dao of Merit."

She patted Lin Zhu on the shoulder and said with a look of admonition, "When it comes to cultivation, you still have to be down-to-earth and not have too many unrealistic expectations."

In the Chaos Jade Void Palace, the corner of Yuanshi Tianzun's mouth twitched again. As the Lord of Order, he could sense that the order between heaven and earth in the Pangu Realm had become more perfect.

Incidentally, his cultivation level also improved slightly.

"Why is it this kid again?"

He was a little annoyed; what should he do if this disciple really wanted it?

If only I had known, I wouldn't have let Master Taiyi take on any disciples back then, and instead I would have taken him on as my second-generation disciple myself.

Unfortunately, even a Dao Lord-level figure cannot create a remedy for regret.

Outside the official road, Lin Zhu reached out and ruffled Yuegui's hair. "I know, you don't need to tell me!"

"You audacious little bamboo, how dare you disrespect me!" Yuegui shouted, slapping the hand on her head before straddling Lin Zhu's head. "I punish you by making you take me back like this."

As she spoke, she puffed out her cheeks.

"Then please sit down."

Lin Zhu's lips curled up slightly; children are so easy to coax.

They quickly returned to Jiuyuan City.

At this point, more than ten days had passed since the two left.

After sensing the return of the two, Chang'e walked out of the courtyard, still looking like the fairy of the moon palace, a pleasing sight to behold.

Yan Yunxi carried Lü Lingqi out as well. Upon seeing Lin Zhu, she was initially startled, then quickly bowed and took her daughter back to her own courtyard.

Yuegui asked curiously, "Why is Yunxi so afraid of you, like a flood or a ferocious beast? I asked her before, but she wouldn't tell me."

Lin Zhu took it off his head, saying, "You'll understand later."

Chang'e understood Yan Yunxi and knew why, so she smiled gently but didn't continue the conversation. Instead, she asked, "Is the matter finished?"

"Of course it's all done." Lin Zhu nodded, then walked into the courtyard, opened his sleeve, and released Ren Hongchang and her family.

After being absorbed into the sleeve, they temporarily lost consciousness.

After being released, I woke up slowly, feeling as if I had had a good sleep.

Ren Hongchang and her father were the first to wake up. Upon seeing Lin Zhu, they were about to kneel down to express their gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much for saving our lives, Immortal."

Lin Zhu's magical power surged, preventing them from kneeling.

After everyone woke up, he said, "You don't need to be so polite. I have a connection with Hongchang, and it is fate that I saved you. You can stay here from now on, and I will also give you the surrounding fields."

Ren Hongchang's family naturally expressed their deepest gratitude to Lin Zhu. Ren Hongchang's mother even wanted to give Ren Hongchang to Lin Zhu as a maid.

Ren Hongchang herself was very willing; Lin Zhu was so beautiful that even she felt a little inferior.

She was very clear about her appearance; back in Taiyuan, she had never seen anyone prettier than her.

In other words, her parents smeared mud on her face every day to protect her.

After all, for people at the bottom of society, whether it's a son or a daughter, being too good-looking is a sin.

If it can be hidden, then it should be hidden.

Lin Zhu didn't hesitate for long before accepting Ren Hongchang, since he was a member of the group.

But she wasn't taken in as a maid; she was only to be taught martial arts by Ren Hongchang.

Then he used his magic to build a courtyard three miles away and sent Ren Hongchang's family there to live.

As for Ren Hongchang, he naturally stayed with Lin Zhu and the others.

Chang'e, however, felt that she had a connection with Ren Hongchang and said, "I find this younger sister quite pleasing to the eye, and her constitution is also special. Why don't we go to the Moon Palace together someday? What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Before, Yuegui hadn't paid much attention to Ren Hongchang, but after Chang'e's words, she examined him closely and sensed that Ren Hongchang actually contained a Yin Moon power within his body.

"I didn't even notice before, Chang'e, you're so observant." She turned to Lin Zhu, "Little Zhu, this little girl will be one of our Taiyin Star's people from now on. Anyway, Wang Shu has already taken in four, one more will make it more lively."

Ren Hongchang listened to the conversation between the three men, completely bewildered, but he remained obediently in place without saying a word.

Yuegui said to her, "Little girl, from now on you will follow me and Chang'e."

Ren Hongchang then said, "Can't I stay with you, young master?" She turned to look at Lin Zhu, reluctant to look away, with a pitiful appearance that was sure to win anyone's heart.

Chang'e sighed inwardly. Another girl who's lost her mind, and she's so young.

She knew that Yaoyue and Linzhu had an ambiguous relationship in the Guanghan Palace, and she could also see part of Lianxing's thoughts.

Only Lonely Moon is slightly better.

As for herself...

Anyway, she was quite happy during the time she spent with Lin Zhu, and even temporarily forgot about the Jade Rabbit.
