Chapter 314 Lanqiuze (End)
Lanqiuze has been completely reduced to ruins. At this moment, Cheng Jiu and the others are very fortunate that they evacuated the residents in time, otherwise the situation would definitely be worse!
What was once a picturesque landscape of green hills and clear waters, a small town in southern China, is now comparable to a desolate and impoverished place. As time goes by, the dragon's grievances below are almost turning this entire river area black!
It should be understood that this river area had recently undergone a purification ritual, which should theoretically have a restraining effect on evil creatures like the Dragon's Wrath.
This situation is enough to show how deep the dragon's resentment is!
What's worse is that the demons originally looked down on Cheng Jiu and his group of Nascent Soul cultivators!
This arrogance stems from their overwhelming strength, but seeing that the siege has dragged on for too long and there are concerns about unforeseen circumstances, they have resorted to other means!
The entire river area was enveloped by the gas they emitted, and almost all the senior brothers and sisters who came into contact with it looked uncomfortable. It was demonic energy! Once you were exposed to too much of it, the demonic energy would enter your body, causing damage to your meridians at best, and at worst, you would fall into demonic possession!
Only Cheng Jiu was unaffected; her constitution naturally countered these things!
Invulnerable to all poisons, and protected from all evil!
Therefore, regardless of whether it weakens one's own strength, it may increase the opponent's strength!
Cheng Jiu had no choice but to take on even greater pressure!
"Wood Virtue! Azure Dragon Heals!"
By the time Cheng Jiu finished speaking, her voice was hoarse and strained! Although she could still maintain the composure of a commander, a sense of despair inevitably rose in her heart. What difference was there between this situation and waiting to die?
The little cloud beast suddenly grew larger, its enormous white cloud clashing drastically with the dark demonic energy!
Gale and lightning danced together, tearing a space for Cheng Jiu in this black territory!
The little black dragon roamed around, defending the little cloud beast against any invading enemies and preventing them from interrupting it!
"These two contracted beasts are such a pain!"
Seeing that Cheng Jiu and the others had recovered and were annoyed by the harassment, one of the female demons cursed loudly!
"Don't be angry! These two look quite promising! If we let them fall into demonic possession and kill their master, hmph~"
The male demon beside him stared greedily at the little cloud beast and the little black dragon. If he had enough time, with the talent of these two, he might be able to reach an even higher level. Who knows!
Even if they can't, they're still a formidable fighting force!
It wasn't just him who thought of it; the other demons thought of it too!
The female demon said sweetly, "Then it's settled, I want that cloud!"
The female demon flirted with the other three with a mix of coquettishness and reproach, but unfortunately, her usually invincible trick seemed to have failed her this time!
The demons, influenced by her suggestion, all glanced away. They could distinguish between beauty and strength; with strength, what kind of beauty couldn't they have!
Seeing that her methods were ineffective, the female demon snorted softly, her eyes flashing with ambition!
If that's the case, then let's see what each of us can do!
While Cheng Jiu and the others were still alive, their enemies on the other side were already plotting to divide up her contracted beasts!
After all, both Cheng Jiu and the demons knew that Cheng Jiu and his group couldn't hold out for long!
After all, the dragon below was growing stronger than expected, and it had now reached the Tribulation Transcending Realm!
In the boundless blackness, a small, eerie door slowly opened in the air!
An extremely handsome blue ice dragon poked its head out from inside the door!
"If it weren't for the fact that you're my friend, I wouldn't have tolerated this! Luckily, I had a business trip before, and I'm still alive. If I had come here quickly, I wouldn't have been able to! How could you even think of such a thing!"
The Ghost Emperor stood beside Immortal Lord Qingxu, complaining as he was sprayed in the face with black demonic energy the moment he stepped out of the Ghost Gate, his face instantly turning gloomy!
Immortal Lord Qingxu, surrounded by an icy blue light, looked handsome and dashing: "Thank you. Are you leaving now?"
"Go my ass! Trash!" The Ghost Emperor rarely swore, and in front of the two of them, the five demons in the air were completely exposed.
The demonic energy slowly dissipated, and the chilling aura slithered through the black mist like a snake, inch by inch!
The dragon below seemed to have consumed some powerful tonic, becoming even more excited and restless!
Cheng Jiu was also a bit dumbfounded. How could this happen so suddenly! The dragon below seemed to have taken a super tonic, its strength suddenly increased by a lot, and it even faintly exuded the pressure of the Mahayana stage!
Correspondingly, the formation was broken through three times in a row!
The demons in the air became even more excited, which meant that Cheng Jiu's formation wouldn't last much longer!
Without the protection of the formation, Cheng Jiu and his companions would be weakened.
The moment of slaughter has arrived!
Cheng Jiu felt relieved, sensing an incredibly familiar presence: "My master has arrived!"
The senior brothers and sisters on the field, who were initially disheartened after breaking through three consecutive formations, were taken aback. Master?
Wait a minute, Cheng Jiu's master!
Wouldn't that be the Immortal Lord Qingxu?
Those senior brothers and sisters who had heard of the great name of Immortal Lord Qingxu suddenly felt an immense sense of security! They were saved!
Like a shot of adrenaline, it was injected into this somewhat sluggish team! At this crucial moment, they couldn't afford to give up after all their previous efforts!
Absolutely! We absolutely cannot leave a mess behind!
"Brothers and sisters, hold on! Hold on, we'll win!" Senior Sister Jin Su shouted encouragingly!
"it is good!"
Everyone poured their spiritual energy into fighting the evil dragon below!
They can brag about what they've experienced today for the rest of their lives! They blocked the dragon's wrath and withstood the attack of five demons!
Although the main force is Junior Sister Cheng Jiu, they are not bad either!
With this in mind, everyone was even more motivated!
The five people in the air were unaware of the abnormality of the demonic mist they had released. At this moment, they stopped attacking and instead watched Fang Chengjiu and the others' "death struggle" with a spectator's attitude!
He paid no attention to what Cheng Jiu said until three sword lights flashed and his body exploded into a bloody mist in mid-air!
"This is disgusting! It pollutes the environment!" the Ghost Emperor complained, his cold, yin energy sweeping away the dust in the air without leaving a trace!
Immortal Lord Qingxu ignored him, sheathed his sword, and naturally noticed the dragon's resentment that Cheng Jiu and the others were suppressing. He kicked the Ghost Emperor and shouted, "Save my disciple!"
Only then did the Ghost Emperor notice Cheng Jiu and the others, who were somewhat disheveled but desperately holding on: "You disciples of the Guiyuan Sect are truly remarkable! You were able to hold on for so long!"
Alright, little ones, step back! Leave the rest to me, the Emperor!
"Thank you, Lord Ghost Emperor!"
Seeing this, Cheng Jiu and the others did not hesitate and quickly retreated to both sides: "Master, there is another simulated sea cave below!"
"What?" The Ghost Emperor, who had easily captured Long Yuan, asked instinctively. The next moment, he was sprayed in the face by a towering column of water. Countless water columns gushed out from below, shaking the earth and tearing it apart with the ferocious water column!
In the blink of an eye, the entire Lanqiu Marsh was transformed into a vast ocean. Only then did the Ghost Emperor realize just how extraordinary things Cheng Jiu and the others had suppressed!
The water was rushing rapidly downstream, and this was the period when the Yuanxiao River had the highest water volume, which was almost deadly!
The vast ocean, like a rampaging wild beast, was stopped by a thick wall of ice just as it was about to break through the fence!
What followed was endless cold, battling against abundant water power. The water constantly condensed and crashed down, the continuous jets of water fueling the battle!
But at extreme temperatures, they turn into dazzling ice pillars.
Even at the height of the sun, it still doesn't feel warm at all!
Cheng Jiu, with the little cloud beast, quickly searched for his exhausted senior brothers and sisters!
After that great battle, most of the senior brothers and sisters had almost exhausted their spiritual power. The vast ocean came too suddenly, and not all of them had the strength to fly!
Naturally, some of the senior students were blasted into the ocean by the sudden water jet!
Fortunately, Cheng Jiu had a little cloud beast and a little black dragon, two big enough to provide a place for all the senior brothers and sisters to stay.
Although the two little ones weren't in great shape either, they still had some energy left compared to the other senior students!
The main reason is that Cheng Jiu, the master, has strong recovery ability and can continuously provide spiritual power for the two!
In the distance, one mountain after another rose into the air and was placed around Lanqiuze. The Ghost Emperor had actually created a ring of tall mountains out of thin air in this low hilly area of Lanqiuze!
The mountains, like high walls, firmly lock this vast ocean in place!
The upstream and downstream sections of the Qiu River were forcibly diverted and dredged, and the horrific flood was thus resolved!
Only Lanqiuze remained, transformed into a vast, deep lake. The seemingly reasonable yet illogical aspects of this process brought Cheng Jiu and the others a unique sense of awe, a testament to their immense power!
Moving mountains and filling seas to create land and form lakes.
Those with strong abilities have many methods!
Once the water in the sea cave below has completely drained, the green mountains and frozen lake present an extraordinary scene, completely obscuring the previous grotesque appearance of this area!
In the water, low-lying islets emerged one by one like ants. As soon as they came out of the cave, they saw the boundless lake and towering mountains. They were stunned at first, and then they knelt down and wept.
Their home is gone!
Cheng Jiu also saw the little girl who once said she wanted to be the River Goddess. Senior Sister Jin Su did not take her with her, but instead made sure she was well taken care of.
At this moment, she stared blankly at the lake that stretched as far as the eye could see!
Her River Goddess Temple is gone!
"We should move them!" one of the senior students also thought of this group of people.
"Of course! There's not much room for them to survive here!"
The mountains have all been turned into "islands"!
"I don't know which city should take care of them!"
These guys can hardly be considered law-abiding citizens. Moreover, they've lost their homes and businesses and are all alone. They should be considered refugees. With so many refugees who aren't even considered law-abiding citizens, which city would be willing to take them in?
I don't know if they were lucky or unlucky!
The beast tide affected such a vast area that small towns like theirs could hardly survive, yet they suffered minimal losses under Yan Yang's protection.
Now everything they once owned has been destroyed in this flood, and they are not entirely innocent victims in this flood.
Those innocent souls who died, and the Guiyuan Sect disciples who were innocently betrayed and killed.
The Guiyuan Sect disciples who came to exorcise the demons did not come without losses; only the lucky survivors remained!
If Cheng Jiu and the others hadn't arrived, these senior brothers and sisters would probably have met again in the Yellow Springs!
But another stroke of luck is that because many people were affected by that beast tide, and it was not long ago, the Guiyuan Sect's relief efforts had not yet ended, so they were able to apply for the relief funds given their current situation!
If it weren't for the beast tide, they would have had to swallow all the bitter consequences themselves, instead of being able to at least receive a subsidy like they do now!
"Sigh, let's take them out!" With mixed emotions, Senior Sister Jin Su sighed.
Because of the previous battle with the water demon, there wasn't even a single fish left; we can't just leave them to fend for themselves in this deadly place.
"..."
Some of the senior students who had been betrayed exchanged glances but did nothing. Not taking it seriously didn't mean they didn't care; they weren't the kind of people who would repay evil with kindness!
Jin Su's team did not suffer any casualties, but when she thought back to the despair she felt when she was betrayed while fighting the water demon, she couldn't bring herself to say a word of blame for the choices made by the others!
Everyone looked at Cheng Jiu and his group of six. They were the only ones left here who had no grudges against the residents of Lanqiuze!
A mere task performer, devoid of any emotion.
Cheng Jiu glanced at his senior brothers and sisters who were still clinging to the little cloud beast and the little black dragon, and remained silent for a moment. Given their condition, how could they possibly have any strength left?
Moreover, there are three alchemists here. Alchemists' sword-wielding skills are really average, so she decisively went to ask her master for help!
At least they paved an icy road for these residents.
Immortal Lord Qingxu had no reason not to grant his disciple's request. Moreover, as an elder of the Guiyuan Sect, he could not possibly abandon these people!
So Xuanze stepped in, only needing to pave the ice road, without having to carry people, which made Xuanze very happy.
It was unwilling to let these weak cultivators trample on it; they shouldn't even think about it! Xuanze possessed the pride of a Mahayana-stage dragon!
A sturdy, azure ice bridge stretched all the way to the edge of the ocean. Although it was surrounded by ice, the residents dared not make any rash moves, as they were unsure whether the ice was solid.
They could even see underwater whirlpools through the ice; with their strength, if they fell in, their lives would be in danger.
Humans have always been very resilient. Seeing Xuanze save the ice bridge, even though they were filled with the sorrow of losing their home, everyone cheered up, packed up, and embarked on the road to survival!
Cheng Jiu even saw young people carrying elderly relatives on their backs, which comforted him somewhat. It seemed that these guys still had some humanity!
Senior Sister Jin Su kept her promise and picked up the girl amidst the envious gazes of many Lanqiuze residents. She had promised to send the girl to Tai Xuan Sect.
"Immortal, the temple of the River Goddess is gone!" The little girl hugged Senior Sister Jin Su's neck, tears streaming down her face.
Her home was completely gone!
"When you have the power, you can personally build a temple for your River Goddess!"
Senior Sister Jin Su stroked the little girl's hair, her voice gentle, comforting the child in her arms.
"Mmm!" The little girl sobbed, nodding repeatedly, "I will definitely cultivate diligently, earn lots of spirit stones, and build a super big temple for the River Goddess!"
"Are you coming back with me through the Ghost Realm passage?" The Ghost Emperor asked, nudging Qingxu Immortal Lord with his elbow. "It's on the way this time, so don't miss out!"
"No!" Immortal Lord Qingxu said calmly, "It's filled with eerie yin energy; Xuanze doesn't like it!"
"You two are starting to complain! I wonder who it was that rushed to the Ghost Realm, begging for the gates of hell to be opened!"
"Speed, quick!" Immortal Lord Qingxu did not react to the Ghost Emperor's provocation!
"Damn ice block! I'm off then! I still have to deal with this bastard!" The Ghost Emperor sighed, waving the icy blue Dragon Vengeance in his hand. Ah, what a tiring life!
With a sigh, I opened the gates of hell and went inside!
Meanwhile, Immortal Lord Qingxu will remain here, waiting for the residents of Lanqiuze to relocate before returning to Yuanzong together.
