After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"A guy like that..."

Reiko turned around and looked, and said angrily.

"I don't know where this evil demon came from, but it actually brought an external demon to this place. This external demon is greedy for flesh and blood, and it fused the essence of living people's flesh and blood into itself. Fortunately, the Heavenly Heart is all-encompassing, and this evil demon was killed before it could become powerful."

killed?

Zhou Yan's heart stirred.

Zhou Yan realized that the reason Zhongdou Xingjun had caused Penglai Island to close prematurely was because he had introduced this inexplicable external demon, which caused Penglai Island's self-cleaning mechanism to activate ahead of schedule. Then, the external demon was directly killed by the protective mechanism of the Mountain and River Map.

According to this theory, the idea that Penglai Island disappears every now and then is due to cleaning the fish tank, as speculated by Wenquxing, is quite plausible.

"Immortal."

Dongchengzi bowed to Zhou Yan again.

"Please do me the trouble to show us the way."

Zhou Yan pursed his lips.

"I do know who the murderer is."

The two Taoist priests' eyes lit up immediately.

Zhou Yan smiled wryly.

"But I don't think all of you combined could beat him."

In terms of awakening alone, even Zhao Wenhe probably couldn't beat Zhongdou Xingjun. How could these two fake things in the Shanhe Sheji Tu compare to Zhongdou Xingjun?

……

One night passed.

The top of Dawu Mountain.

At this moment, it was still as dark as night, but the awakened ones who had been partying all night were waking up one after another thanks to their reliable biological clocks. As awakened ones whose physical abilities were dozens or even hundreds of times greater than those of normal people, they naturally did not experience headaches or discomfort after waking up. After getting up, everyone went back to rest, while the others took out various canned foods and natural products to prepare breakfast.

Those who are more particular take water out to wash their face and brush their teeth.

"Splash."

The gates of Daigo Palace opened, and Zhao Wenhe, dressed in Hanfu, walked out.

Wenquxing stood respectfully beside Zhao Wenhe, and when Zhao Wenhe arrived in front of this group of awakened individuals, Wenquxing called out.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

The others looked at Zhao Wenhe, He Taotao, Xu Hanyao, and He Taotao's team members. They immediately introduced the stunning beauty who had walked out to the other awakened teams as Zhao Wenhe. There was no need to mention the Great Zheng Dynasty or the Empress. As long as they said that Zhao Wenhe was a true god awakened one, the people around them couldn't help but feel longing.

In the Eastern Xia United Kingdom, every True God Awakener is inevitably a superior person in the awakened community, without exception.

Zhao Wenhe glanced at the Awakened Ones around him. They didn't kneel or kowtow, which displeased him somewhat. However, since it was the startup phase, Zhao Wenhe couldn't put on too much of an air.

Zhao Wenhe asked.

"My lords, you must have heard my terms last night. Are you willing to submit?"

As Zhao Wenhe spoke, he casually waved his hand, and three kilometers away, a huge palm of true energy appeared on a fifty-meter-high mountain. The palm of true energy pressed down, crushing and shattering the mountain, and pressing it to the ground, leaving a two-kilometer-long handprint on the ground.

The other awakened ones were dumbfounded.

Yesterday, Xu Hanyao and others kept praising Zhao Wenhe as a true god awakener. The rest of the awakener team were somewhat skeptical. Where in the world are there so many true god awakeners?

Perhaps Xu Hanyao and his ilk lacked vision and were intimidated by a demigod awakened, but look at Zhao Wenhe's effortless crushing of the mountain now...

Is this something a demigod awakened can do?

My God, is this woman really a goddess?

Wenquxing gave Xu Hanyao a look, and Xu Hanyao immediately knelt down and bowed his head respectfully.

"Your Majesty's divine skills are unparalleled, and you are invincible under heaven."

Xu Hanyao frantically gave the others meaningful glances, no longer caring whether Zhao Wenhe was crazy or not. In any case, he was a powerful ally. As long as they clung to him, they wouldn't mind calling him "Your Majesty" or even "Father."

The atmosphere among the Awakened Ones is more one-sided than in any other region.

The others wore strange expressions, wondering why Xu Hanyao's words sounded so awkward. However, they were all adults, and seeing Zhao Wenhe's unbelievably exaggerated methods, they slowly knelt down, showing no respect whatsoever, and even speaking perfunctorily.

"Your Majesty's divine skills are unparalleled, and you are invincible under heaven."

"Your Majesty's divine skills are unparalleled, and you are invincible under heaven."

"Your Majesty's divine skills are unparalleled, and you are invincible under heaven."

Zhao Wenhe looked pleased with himself.

"Alright, all of you, rise."

The awakened individuals, already embarrassed and considering it a dark chapter in their lives, slowly stood up, and Wenquxing stepped forward at that moment.

"Heroes, you have all witnessed His Majesty's astonishing methods, haven't you? Now, a great plague is raging in the Eastern Xia Alliance..."

Wenquxing repeated Zhao Wenhe's power grab plan that he had mentioned before.

"...That's the situation. His Majesty, as a true god, is taking advantage of the power vacuum in the federal government to plunder at will. He will surely become a powerful ruler in the future. You are all his subjects who have followed him. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could become regional governors and divide up the land in the future?"

He Taotao patted his chest as he led the way.

"I am now His Majesty's man. As long as His Majesty gives me a bite to eat, my life belongs to His Majesty."

The rest of He Taotao's team members echoed his sentiments.

The other awakened individuals exchanged glances. Of course, they couldn't refuse. Based on the fighting prowess this woman had displayed, their chances of surviving and escaping this sealed-off Penglai Island depended entirely on her.

As for fate, there's nothing to be particular about it.

The other awakened ones also shouted.

"Your Majesty, I'm with you."

"Count me in, count me in! My father is a state legislator from Lanhua State. His Majesty needs me to accomplish great things."

"So what if your dad is a state legislator? My dad is a congressman."

"Is your dad morally fastidious? Just how poor does he have to be for a congressman's son to come to a human forbidden zone to make money?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

“My father is a director of Blackwater Military Company. I came here to work hard at the grassroots level. You all know that, it’s to build up my resume.”

The awakened ones surrendered in a chaotic manner.

Zhao Wenhe shook his head.

Their words lack any clear definition; they are just a mob.

Zhao Wenhe looked at Wenquxing beside him.

"Where is that Zhou family brat?"

Wenquxing bowed and said.

"In Xiao'an Hall, that child is very arrogant and disdains to come here and associate with these heroes."

Zhao Wenhe turned around.

"Summon that child to my chambers."

Chapter Thirty-Three: A Lawful Marriage

Wenquxing's lips twitched slightly. He clearly heard Zhao Wenhe laugh jokingly and ambiguously after he finished speaking.

Zhao Wenhe's footsteps faded into the distance.

Wenquxing looked up, blinking as he carefully flipped through his memories. After a while, he shook his head with a wry smile.

When Zhao Wenhe was dethroned, she was already 30 years old. According to unofficial history, this empress kept more than 30 male lovers. In official history, she had three husbands who were relatives. Perhaps because she was of divine blood, Zhao Wenhe did not leave behind any children.

The higher the level of an Awakened One, the more difficult it is for them to have offspring.

Wenquxing has had intimate relationships with more than four figures of girls in his life, and has married three wives, but has no children.

Of course, whether or not she had children is not important; what is important is that this empress was not very particular about her private life.

Wenquxing had heard Zhou Yan say that the Empress had completely outmaneuvered the true dragon, Lingxin Dasheng.

Perhaps he felt that messing with Lingxin Dasheng wasn't enough, so now he wants to mess with Zhou Yan.

The only problem is that Zhou Yan has run away; the current Zhou Yan is a clone created by the God of Literature.

Wenquxing went to Xiao'an Hall and called out in an orderly manner.

"Young Master Zhou, His Majesty requests your presence in his bedchamber."

Footsteps sounded as a clone resembling Zhou Yan emerged from Xiao'an Palace. Wenquxing and the clone he had created faced each other.

After a few seconds, Wenquxing clutched his chest and asked.

"Young master, have you found a way to refine this 'Map of Mountains and Rivers'?"

If they still can't find it, Wenquxing will feel like he can't keep up the situation any longer.

……

Linshan Cave Heaven is the place where Zhou Yan burned the imperial edict.

After returning from Taoyuan Village, Zhou Yan rushed to the place where the imperial edict was burned.

Because Peach Blossom Village is also within the blessed land, it is considered to be within the scope of the Mountain and River Map. Therefore, when Zhou Yan traveled with Dong Chengzi, he was waiting for Nuwa to bestow blessings and let the Mountain and River Map belong to him.

But nothing came of it. Even after returning to Linshan Cave, the Mountain and River Map still hadn't connected with him.

Nuwa couldn't just accept the decree and give no response whatsoever, could she?

Standing in front of the brazier where he burned imperial edicts, Zhou Yan carefully examined the inside and outside of the brazier. Inside the brazier was a basin of paper ash, which overlapped and separated, forming two characters at the separation points: "Wrong".

After Zhou Yan burned the imperial edict, the goddess Nuwa responded, but instead of giving Zhou Yan the map of mountains and rivers, she gave him two words: "Wrong."

What's wrong?

Zhou Yan looked up at the sky.

how to say?

Zhou Yan burned the imperial edicts to the Heavenly Emperors, but none of them replied. Nuwa did reply, but the aid she offered was simply "wrong."

Can't you offer some direct help?

Does this mean we still have to rely on ourselves?

The problem is, time is running out, isn't it?

Zhou Yan covered his chest with one hand.

“I have a big problem here, and I haven’t figured it out yet. This Mountain and River Map… Oh right, when I came back to Linshan Cave Heaven just now, I saw ten new people in the restaurant. Two of them are clearly He Taotao’s subordinates. Old Master Ye, could you please go out and take a look?”

Zhou Yan waited for two minutes, and then Wenquxing announced a number.

"There are 75 people outside the Great Hall now, and those are the only 75 people I remember."

Yesterday, after discovering that someone had arrived at Linshan Cave, Wenquxing counted the number of people while asking the Awakened Group if anyone was missing, and then asked for their names.

After doing all this, Wenquxing told Zhou Yan all the numbers and names, and instructed Zhou Yan to remember them clearly, so as to figure out which people were missing from their side and for how long.

Of course, losing a person is tolerable, but the real problem is having one more person, or even more people.

Zhou Yan recalled for a moment, then said bitterly.

“You said yesterday that there were still 85 people.”

Zhou Yan went to Peach Blossom Spring, and when he returned, ten more Awakened Ones were wiped out and sent to this Linshan Cave to become other people.

At this rate, Zhou Yan estimated that in two or three days, only Wenquxing and Zhao Wenhe would be left outside. Oh no, that old bastard Zhongdouxingjun is probably hiding somewhere. And judging from Zhongdouxingjun's scheming, Zhao Wenhe will at least not die in this round of fish tank cleaning.

Why didn't Zhao Wenhe die while being cleaned in the fish tank?

Ok? !

Zhou Yan remembered that Zhao Wenhe was suppressed under Dawu Mountain two hundred years ago. Therefore, Zhao Wenhe was likely already on Penglai Island before the purge mechanism appeared. As a result, Zhao Wenhe is now likely considered one of Penglai Island's own people by the purge mechanism and will not be purged.

So in the end, the only ones who will be purged are themselves, Wenquxing, and that group of outside awakened ones.

"Immortal, it's time to have your meal."
