three months later
Bluestone Space, Anping Town Central Square.
For the former residents of Huju Island, the central square is their favorite place to visit in their free time, not only because it is their first stop when they come to Bluestone Space, but also because of the inconspicuous high platform in the center.
That was the place where Yiyi stood with the red-bellied eagle. Here, the little fairy grass showed them a brand new world.
Three years have passed, and people come here from time to time to submit petitions or petitions to this high platform, including monks and more ordinary people. This is the place where they can communicate with "God". Many of their grievances and wishes have been resolved through this small mound.
Even though many of the monks in Anping Town knew that the so-called heaven was actually a boy, a baby girl and two young women whose cultivation levels were not even as good as their own, everyone did not dare to have the slightest doubt in their hearts. Disrespectful.
Those who tried to challenge them have been punished as they deserve.
Especially today.
On this day, there were crowds of people near the high platform. Almost all the residents and monks in the bluestone space came here.
Hundreds of thousands of people crowded into the audience, monks and mortals mixed together, and no one dared to speak loudly.
The whole place was silent!
Because there is a special ceremony today.
"At noon, take the prisoners!" Hu Er stood in front of the high platform and shouted at the top of his lungs.
With Yiyi's help, his voice spread everywhere and everyone could hear it clearly.
A group of twenty-seven people were escorted up, and the leader was none other than Huzan.
Han Rui's favorite general, the former Master of the Purple Mansion, now has his hands tightly bound by the Immortal Binding Rope, his feet are shackled, his pipa bone is passed through a third-order bipolar clavicle chain, and his mouth is still stuffed. Wearing a piece of white cloth, his magic power was tightly imprisoned, making him worse than an ordinary mortal. Only when he held his neck high and the fierce light in his eyes revealed how ferocious and bloodthirsty this man was.
Behind him, there were Shi Qiang and more than twenty foundation-building monks, all of whom were treated the same way. They all had their heads drooped and knelt in a long row on the side of the high platform under the scolding of the escort.
Their crime is -
Crimes against humanity.
At a quarter past noon, a young man stepped onto the stage, it was Yang Zhen.
Looking at the familiar or unfamiliar faces in the audience, the young man looked calm and spoke calmly:
"Everyone! We all come from the Mountain Domain and have experienced the rule of the demon clan. We have witnessed and encountered various injustices, humiliations, and oppressions. Whether it is for yourself, your relatives, or your fellow human beings, some of you have come forward. , some people organized resistance, some refused to cooperate, and so on..."
"Unfortunately, you were caught by the demon clan and their thugs and became prisoners..."
"I want to say that we are all good, heroes, and glorious!"
"However, some people forget that they are also members of the human race and aim their butcher knives at their own compatriots. Such people will never be allowed to exist in Anping Town!"
"Huzan, Shi Qiang, you two are from the Purple Mansion of the human race, sowing dissension in the Fushou Cauldron, driving the prison workers to kill each other, and doing it yourself. No less than four hundred monks died at your hands! It's a lot of evil. , the sin is unpardonable!”
Hearing the words "the crime is unforgivable", Huzan and Shi Qiang turned pale with fear, struggled desperately, and whined, obviously not convinced.
Yang Zhen ignored it and continued:
"Long Ritian, Gu Yue Fangyuan, Tian Yunzi...you and other twenty people are all gangsters in the mountain realm. They rob monks, torture and kill mortals, and rape women. Innocent people died in your hands, or There are dozens, or hundreds, or countless others. You are ruthless, cruel and violent. Likewise, your sins are unpardonable!"
These are the criminals who were exposed after the prisoners were rescued. Their crime was not to resist the rule of the demon clan, but a pure crime. No matter what realm you are in, you must be severely punished.
"Zhang Xusheng, Mo Juren... you and other five people, after they came to Anping Town, relied on their cultivation to do whatever they wanted, oppressed ordinary people, and even forced their way into people's houses and killed the townspeople, including Yu Dabao's family of four, Liu Sanya and his wife. Eight people, including Zhang Sanshi and his son, were killed. Afterwards, they tried to escape, deny, and resist..."
"Your crimes are unforgivable!"
"The above twenty-seven people, as unanimously approved by the Anping Town Executive Committee, will be executed immediately!"
"boom!"
There was a lot of noise. Many people, especially those mortals, could hardly believe their ears. All these high-ranking monks were actually executed?
In the mountain realm where humans are inferior to beasts, low-level people are inferior to high-level people, and mortals are inferior to monks, very few monks, especially those who commit crimes such as killing mortals, are publicly sentenced to death.
"good!"
"Long live!"
Some people cheered excitedly.
Yang Zhen waved her hand, and twenty-seven people in the firing squad came on stage, standing in front of a death row prisoner one after another.
The first person in line is Su Xiuying, followed by her daughter Lu Suye. Both of them have a piece of white linen tied on their right arms, which is to observe the three months of mourning for Lu Youan. They already knew the story of his death from Yang Zhen, and even guessed some of the reasons.
Although I am not angry with him, after all, I am a husband and wife for many years and my biological father, so I can't help but feel sad.
This is human nature, and of course Yang Zhen will not stop it.
Su Xiuying drew out a magic sword, her hands trembling slightly. She never dreamed that she would kill someone with her own hands in this life, and that she would be a monk as high as Zifu.
This is exactly Yang Zhen's purpose. Not only Su Xiuying and her daughter, but also the twenty-seven people in the firing squad, including Liu Qian'an, Ning Qiaogu, and Pei Jian's junior sister Huang, etc., were all a group of people he planned to win over as his confidants, so he specially gave them training.
"ah--"
With a scream, the long sword was sent out, directly piercing Huzan's heart. The Master Zi Mansion, whose hands were stained with the blood of countless human monks, groaned, twitched a few times, and died unwillingly with his eyes wide open.
Puff puff……
The sound of the long sword penetrating the body sounded one after another. After the execution, the corpses of twenty-seven death row prisoners were lined up on the high platform, which was shocking.
Yang Zhen did not leave. When he didn't leave, everyone in the audience looked at him, wondering what other instructions the master of the space had.
"The second thing," Yang Zhen scanned the audience and finally said the news that she had concealed for three months: "The Demon Lord, the ruler of the Mountain Domain, is dead!"
"boom!"
The audience was quiet for a moment, and then it started to boil like water in a pot!
However, as if to add more fire to the boiling water, Yang Zhen revealed a third earth-shattering event:
"In the mountain domain, there are humans who have established an empire!"
…
In the past few months after Demon Lord's death, a series of things happened in the Mountain Domain like a revolving lantern.
First of all, five demon emperors gathered in the Holy Capital. After looting the Fuyao Palace, the five emperors deliberated for several days, but failed to come up with any results. They chose a master of the Holy Capital that everyone recognized, and finally broke up unhappy. Everyone goes back to their homes.
Then, on the way back, Gu Zheng and Han Rui used Ji Pin to protect Han family's rebellious disciple Qing'er, and killed Emperor Ji Pin and his entourage in one fell swoop. No one escaped the trap.
Immediately, the two men occupied the Magpie Nest, quickly occupied the Jipin Empire, and announced the establishment of a human nation. The two true kings would each rule half of the area. When major events happened, the two would discuss it.
This move immediately aroused the anger of the other four demon emperors. However, just as the Four Emperors were in contact with each other and preparing for a crusade, rumors suddenly leaked out that Zi Dou, who had disappeared since the death of the Demon Lord, actually carried the Demon Lord's thousands of years of treasures, including the possibility of advancement. God's treasure is hiding in the Qian'an Empire, under the protection of Qian'an.
The rumors are conclusive, and even many details are vivid, making people have to doubt them. So the three families went together to question him, but Emperor Qian'an denied it. For a while, the mountain domain was in chaos.
Taking advantage of this time, Gu Han and his two men announced that all races within the territory, human and demon, were equal, and that both humans and demons could travel freely without interference. Then he used some unknown means to reach a peace agreement with one of the demon kings, Houqing, and helped each other, finally getting out of the crisis and stabilizing the situation.
The small bluestone where Yang Zhen was was hidden in an obsidian that day. When the Demon Lord fell and Zi Dou left, they also took the opportunity to escape from the giant cauldron. Then it took three months, sneaking along the way, and finally returned to Iris Village in the Junyan Kingdom of the Jipin Empire.
Demon King Junyan had already escaped, and all the villages below were in chaos. In some villages, the humans took the opportunity to cause chaos and drove away the demon commanders, while in some villages the demon commanders escaped on their own. Iris Village is also a bit unstable, but with the cooperation of Su Xiuying and other humans, the situation is still under control for the time being.
After Yang Zhen came back, she immediately put the two demon birds into the space and gave up the territory.
He had long wanted to leave the Mountain Territory and return to the Eastern Territory, but before leaving, there was one more thing to deal with, which was the large number of monks in the space.
There are tens of thousands of monks, more than 95% of whom are building foundations. Even if the space now has hundreds of millions of spirit stones, if things continue like this, it will definitely be overwhelmed.
He couldn't stop everyone from practicing, and he didn't want to cause all kinds of injustice and chaos due to the scarcity of resources.
Therefore, since the Mountain Territory is no longer what it used to be, and the situation of the human race has greatly improved, those who are willing to leave may as well send them away, which will be beneficial to both parties.
As for Huzan Shiqiang and Han Rui's confidants, why did they kill them at this time? There are three reasons. One is that this person killed too many people in the giant cauldron, and the people's anger was too great; the other is that the young man was happy to take revenge. When they were massacred in the giant cauldron, Yang Zhen had decided not to let them survive.
The third is to give a warning to those who left. Even if they have strong power, they must not act recklessly, let alone harm ordinary people.
…
"Our space is small and has limited resources. If the demon master is still in power in the mountain domain, your lives will be at risk. I, Liu, am willing to open the door and use this place as a shelter for everyone."
"But now times have changed, and the human race has two Yuan Ying ancestors to rely on, and it has become a force. You all have cultivation skills, and you will make great achievements after you go out, and you will have a better future in cultivation. Therefore, if If someone wants to go where they want to go, Liu will never stop him and will give him a gift!"
Yang Zhen said loudly. Except for those old people on Huju Island who he specifically warned, he calls himself Liu Yun in front of others.
"If you all continue to stay in this space, I think everyone will understand why Liu has a low cultivation level and is guilty of possessing a jade. Therefore, in the future, Liu will change his appearance and cultivate in a certain place. In other words, Liu will cultivate in a certain place. Before I can protect myself, I will never let my friends out again, except this time!"
"So, everyone must make a decision within three days on where to go! For friends who decide to stay, Liu is willing to share resources with them through thick and thin. For those who leave, if we are destined to meet each other in the future, I hope that we can still be friends at that time !”
…
three days later
Iris Village, somewhere in a valley, filled with clouds and mist.
One by one the monks walked out of the mist, each holding a magic sword in their hands and a number of spiritual stones in their arms. After coming out, he looked around, quickly found his companion, and walked over quickly.
Some people were grateful, turned around and bowed to Mist, with a look of reluctance. After getting up, someone took a deep breath of the familiar air, his excited face full of longing.
The monks who left, totaling more than 9,000 people, were divided into hundreds of large and small groups, and then the Red Tan Club was used as a link to connect the various groups together.
This is a force that cannot be ignored.
In fact, the number of people who initially signed up was less than 70%, and there were still too many monks left for the space. So under Yang Zhen's persuasion, another batch left.
Most of the people who left were prisoners in the giant cauldron at that time. Many people still have relatives or other concerns in various places. Basically, those monks who disappeared with the mortals in the previous batches did not leave.
Not a single mortal left. In this world full of monsters and beasts, without the leadership of the monks, they would be unable to move forward.
In Zi Mansion, Ji Ye, Jun Changan, Mu Qingqing, and the monk who did not participate in the rebellion stayed. Yang Zhen planned to help Pei Jian advance to Zi Mansion in the near future. In this way, with the five of them forming the Small Five Elements Formation as a support, even if they encounter Jin Dan in the future, they will not be helpless to fight back.
He will reveal his true whereabouts to those left behind.
…
The second day
A gray sarcophagus broke through the clouds and fog, traveling at high altitude, leaving behind blurry afterimages.
In the sarcophagus, Yang Zhen fiddled with the stick and asked again:
"This guy won't take us back to the mountain realm, will he?"
"No," Xiaobangzi couldn't wait to pat his chest and promised: "As long as the spiritual energy is enough, it will keep flying to find the place furthest away from here where the evil energy gathers."
"But in the first few days, it's best to have someone in the sarcophagus at all times."
What kind of weird rule is this? Yang Zhen was puzzled. Suddenly her hand loosened and the stick returned to the bluestone.
He quickly searched out with his consciousness and saw somewhere in the space, Yiyi, Zhao Yue'er, and Xiao Zizi, three girls of different ages, but they were all charming and infatuated, sitting together playing Landlords.
The little stick held cups of spiritual honey and served tea and water to the three of them.
Yiyi is the biggest winner. There are piles of spiritual stones in front of her, her legs are crossed, and she is proud of herself.
"You're so stupid. In a bluestone space battle with landlords, can you defeat this cunning fairy grass?" Yang Zhen secretly complained.
After thinking about it, he found Zixue who was drawing talismans by a certain mountain spring. He whispered a few words in her ear and pulled the beautiful senior sister out of the space before she could react.
"This place is so cramped. Hey, what are you going to do?"
"What are you doing?" Yang Zhen smiled maliciously: "You forgot, this is our bridal chamber!"
Zixue's face suddenly turned red and she glared at him fiercely. Then, with a scream, she was picked up by the young man and pinned down.
The room is full, wrong, the coffin is full of spring.
