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

Leng Qing's directness shows a lot of confidence.

Leng Qing walked towards the broken stones of Wang Lingguan's statue.

Since someone was willing to do the most dangerous thing, Mu Yuan and Wu Shanfu didn't stop them. The two silently stood behind Leng Qing, ready to help Leng Qing face any unexpected events.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Ferocity

The next morning.

Zhou Yan sat cross-legged in front of an electrical outlet in his hotel suite, his hands clasped together in front of his lower abdomen. Lightning crackled from the outlet, spreading outwards until it reached Zhou Yan's palms, where it transformed into a ball of lightning that constantly flashed and changed.

There was a knock on the door, followed by Bai Yuan's and Lao Wang's voices.

"Xiao Zhou, we're leaving now. Remember to date Leng Qing properly."

"Xiao Zhou, Leng Qing is practically begging people to marry her, so she's easy to woo. You must seize this opportunity! If you do, you can save yourself thirty years of hard work!"

"Thirty years my ass! Leng Qingguang owns more than thirty properties in the city center. Selling just one of them would be enough to feed hundreds of people for a lifetime. This isn't just skipping thirty years of hard work, it's skipping ten lifetimes!"

"Hey, Lao Bai, what you said makes me want to be a kept man."

"Go ahead and eat if you want, I won't stop you."

"Get lost, get lost. I don't like Leng Qing's personality. He's fine as a leader, but I think he'd get depressed if he were my wife."

Bai Yuan and Lao Wang walked further and further apart. The two of them had agreed with Zhou Yan yesterday that they would leave early in the morning, while Zhou Yan would stay behind.

To demonstrate the tranquility among colleagues, Wu and his companion even asked Zhou Yan if he had enough money. They said they could give Zhou Yan some money in advance, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to put on a show in front of women without having any money.

Zhou Yan refused them all.

"call……"

Zhou Yan, who had been breathing in thunder all night, exhaled a breath carrying lightning.

Just like before in the Ksitigarbha World, Zhou Yan spent one night and, with the help of the Divine Firmament Jade Pivot Technique Seal, he roughly mastered the Thunder Technique. However, he was luckier than last time, as Zhou Yan began to awaken his bloodline.

With a full 10% awakening level, Zhou Yan began to possess omniscience, enabling him to see the attributes of ordinary people.

After feeling the power of his returning bloodline, Zhou Yan got up, went out to brush his teeth and wash his face, went downstairs to eat breakfast, and then bought a portion for Little Yama.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Er Zhouyan arrived at the place where he had met Xiao Yanjun before.

"You've finally arrived."

Little Yanjun, who was squatting in a clump of grass, walked over, rubbing his stomach. Zhou Yan had bought a lot of snacks, but they were all cold. Nothing beats a really hot breakfast.

Zhou Yan handed breakfast to Little Yama, who ate while saying something.

"Shall I take you to Fengyang Village now to check out the roads and familiarize yourself with them?"

Zhou Yan refused.

"Wait a little longer..."

Zhou Yan and Little Yama swayed slightly.

"Crackling..."

Dense cracks began to appear on the ground beneath Zhou Yan and Xiao Yanjun's feet, followed by shaking—shaking left and right, up and down.

Someone shouted from afar.

"Earthquake! Earthquake! Everyone come out!"

"Run! Run!"

Then came a series of heart-wrenching screams, a mixture of local dialect and Xia language, which Zhou Yan and Xiao Yanjun could not understand. However, the fear and despair contained within transcended the limitations of language and spread outwards in waves.

The cracks beneath Zhou Yan and Xiao Yanjun's feet grew larger and larger, and a faint scarlet aura emanated from beneath the ground. This scarlet aura carried a fishy smell, and Zhou Yan and Xiao Yanjun couldn't help but frown as soon as it appeared.

Little Yama looked down at the crimson aura beneath his feet and said in a deep voice.

"This red aura... contains yin energy and ominous energy."

Zhou Yan reached out and hugged Little Yama.

"Don't worry about whether the local authorities are angry or not."

Zhou Yan looked around. The turmoil caused by the earthquake had caused all the villagers in the village to run out of their homes. Because this was a rural area with no large or high-rise buildings, it didn't take long for everyone to escape.

The earthquake grew increasingly severe, and cracks even appeared in the ground, some as wide as half a meter.

Zhou Yan carried Little Yama away from the open space and ran wildly towards the area with smaller cracks.

Behind Zhou Yan, farmhouses began to collapse one after another, accompanied by cries and screams. Zhou Yan glanced back, but then turned his gaze back.

I've only just awakened to the truth, and I'm too busy taking care of myself to have any energy left to save others.

Save your own life first.

In his frantic run, Zhou Yan burst out of Guangming Village. The village entrance was not much better than the village itself. The ground was covered with writhing cracks, and large sections of cement had broken open, revealing the absence of steel reinforcement. A large amount of bloody aura surged uncontrollably from beneath the ground, impacting Zhou Yan's body.

Zhou Yan felt both cold and spicy, and it was extremely uncomfortable to rub on his body.

"Roar!!!!"

A furious roar, so intense it seemed to tear the sky apart, came from afar.

Zhou Yan and Little Yama, who were running wildly, both looked toward the source of the sound.

Zhou Yan and Little Yama saw the pillar of blood.

A towering, crimson column of blood.

Little Yama shouted.

"It's Fengyang Village!"

The location where the blood pillar appeared was the location of Fengyang Village. Because Guangming Village and Fengyang Village were close enough, Zhou Yan could even see that on the blood pillar where Fengyang Village was located, twisted and ferocious faces kept appearing and then quickly disappearing into the blood pillar.

Zhou Yan muttered to himself as he ran.

"What happened in Fengyang Village? Are these investigators really that troublesome?"

Little Yama joked.

"What else could have happened? Of course, it was discovering an altar of an evil god, or reciting a cult's secret incantation, or confessing one's feelings to an evil god and getting accepted."

White mist rose from beneath the pillar of blood, acting like an eraser, gradually wiping it clean. In no time, the towering pillar of blood disappeared, but the earthquake continued.

Behind Zhou Yan, large swathes of rubble rolled down, and trees fell. At this intensity, Zhou Yan estimated that all the villagers of Guangming Village would probably be wiped out.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Several more suppressed roars echoed from Fengyang Village.

The little Yama, held by Zhou Yan, looked at him but couldn't make out anything. Zhou Yan spoke.

"A monster emerged from that pillar of blood... well, it had wings, a tail, a human head, and a snake's tail..."

Little Yama asked in surprise.

"Which ferocious beast is it?"

The sight of blood shooting into the sky and earth dragons turning over must mean that some ferocious beast has awakened.

Zhou Yan shook his head.

"My omniscience tells me that this is an evil beast pieced together by evil energy, but I know nothing else."

Zhou Yan only has 10% awakening level, so he can only see very little.

"They're here! They're here! The four demigods, Lin Anru, Wu Shanfu, Leng Qing, and Mu Yuan, have started fighting that monster!"

Zhou Yan rushed out of the mountain where Guangming Village was located. As soon as he left the mountain, the intensity of the earthquake beneath his feet gradually decreased until the ground leveled out.

Zhou Yan put Little Yama down from his arms and looked back at the pillar of blood.

Little Yama tugged at Zhou Yan's clothes and asked.

"How is the situation?"

Zhou Yan sighed.

"The four demigods are finishing up."

The spliced ​​monster that emerged from the pillar of blood looked quite powerful, but after all, it was facing four powerful demigods: Pulao, Shen, Jianwu, and Xiangliu. Every minute Zhou Yan ran out, the monster fell at the feet of the four demigods. Although it was still struggling, the demigods had already taken control of the situation.

The subsequent attacks were merely to prevent the monster from causing too much harm after it died.

……

Three hours later.

Thousands of off-road vehicles drove to the foot of the hill in Fengyang Village. An entire division of troops surrounded the hill. After the encirclement, the logistics troops went to rescue the villagers of Guangming Village, of course, in tanks and fully armed.

The other troops surrounded the village from a distance, targeting everything from missiles to individual nuclear weapons with their sights set on Fengyang Village.

Several soldiers wearing rank insignia walked out from their own unit.

The earthquake had completely paralyzed the roads in Fengyang Village, making it impossible to drive. The officers had to get out of the car and walk up the road themselves.

These officers were mostly awakened individuals. What was difficult for ordinary people was easy for them. In just over ten minutes, they had traveled from the foot of the mountain to the top and arrived at Fengyang Village.

At this moment, Fengyang Village has been completely leveled, and huge meteorite craters are everywhere on the ground. Several senior executives from "Walking into Unscientific", "Urban Morning News", and "Lectures on the Law in the New Era" are in the largest meteorite crater, and their faces look rather unwell.

The officers then approached the senior executives one after another.

Colonel Chu Yunfei, the highest-ranking officer, laughed and extended his hand.

"National Guard Colonel, Chu Yunfei..."

Wu Shanfu came out, took Chu Yunfei's hand, and said with a wry smile.

"This is a big deal, I hope you can keep it under control."

Chu Yunfei said nonchalantly.

"As long as the federal government gives its approval, there's no question of whether it can be suppressed or not."

As he spoke…? ×♂‰∷ˇ↑Hedgehog↑4% off′＊Proxy purchase:, Chu Yunfei looked around.

"Gentlemen, did you fight with a demigod awakener?"

Wu Shanfu released Chu Yunfei's hand.

"Things aren't that simple..."

Wu Shanfu's face was so pale it looked like it could drip water.

Chu Yunfei said with a solemn expression.

"Then wait a moment..."

Chu Yunfei took out his phone, dialed a number, and then placed the phone in front of Wu Shanfu. On the phone screen appeared a man in a suit who looked very kind.

"Miss Wu, I am the governor of Qinshui Prefecture. I have just received intelligence from the federal government that something major has happened in a small place here, something that could overturn the country. Is this true?"

Wu Shanfu looked around.

Mu Yuan walked out and said.

"Yes, we have indeed discovered something very terrible. If this were to actually be carried out, destroying the local state would be a conservative estimate."

The governor's expression changed drastically on the phone screen.

"Please tell me in detail what exactly happened here!"

Mu Yuan pushed up his glasses.

"The specific situation is like this..."

Mu Yuan explained that they had come to Fengyang Village, moved the statues in the village temple, and gone down to the basement.

"...Afterwards, Miss Leng Qing went to check the broken statue of Wang Lingguan, and as soon as it was moved, the statue started to bleed."

When the statue was mentioned as bleeding, Mu Yuan, Leng Qing, and Wu Shanfu all looked somewhat unwell.

Mu Yuan continued.

"This blood carried an extremely strong evil aura. As soon as it came out, the stone statues around us exploded one after another. After all the stone statues had exploded, the evil aura was like a flood that had broken through the dam, rushing out wildly."

Mu Yuan sighed at the opportune moment.

"Then, as you can see, a pillar of blood shot into the sky, and a monster emerged from it."

Mu Yuan pointed behind him, where a huge, twisted, and bizarre corpse, hundreds of meters long, lay sprawled.
