Liu Qingcheng waited in Jinfeng Tower for a long time.
She waited from dawn until dusk, when the iron hooves led by King Jingnan walked through the streets of Zangfeng Prefecture, until the saint's finger fell from the sky again.
In panic, the earth shook and the mountains shook. The people of the Shanhai Alliance retreated to the Jinfeng Tower, and even accepted some cultivators who had taken refuge.
In the darkness, the atmosphere was extremely depressing and solemn.
She heard some strange cultivators sighing in low voices, resigned to their fate in despair. They were afraid that none of them would be able to escape this disaster today, and Zangfeng Prefecture would become a ghost state today.
Yes, who can save more than five million people under the hands of a saint?
It’s hard to save the gods!
Liu Qingcheng leaned against the window in a daze, thinking in her mind that the world of monsters and practitioners was like this.
Even those who were already extremely powerful in her opinion had even more powerful ones on their heads. Without even a word, just a finger, others would die without a burial place.
It seems... not much better than ordinary people.
If the young master of the Chang family wanted to force Lian Mi to become a concubine, he had to resort to many tricks and put in a lot of effort. But in the end, millions of lives could be lost in just a moment.
When Liu Qingcheng thought of that little girl who was always a little silly, her heart felt dull and empty.
"It's just like what he said, the demon's life is much worse than mine."
Liu Qingcheng smiled bitterly and laughed at herself.
Countless illusions from the past were all shattered today.
In this world, being an ignorant mortal is actually far happier than these precarious practitioners.
The demon does not gain freedom, it just jumps from one mud pit into another.
Liu Qingcheng suddenly felt that she had lost her strength and leaned against the window, slowly sliding down.
Thinking about it, it would actually be good to die here.
At least, she did see a lot of different things... Things that she would never see in her life as a caged bird in a brothel, things outside the square sky.
Liu Qingcheng's eyes dimmed and slowly sank into darkness.
Then she saw a light.
That stream of light rose into the sky, cut through the black sky and sun, and turned into colorful haze and boundless mountains and rivers.
The sky is filled with brilliance and the sky is smashed into pieces!
She raised her head as hard as she could by the window, widened her eyes, and saw clearly that the person who punched the saint in the air and pointed at him, triggering the vision in the sky, was none other than Chen Kuang.
Heroism, nothing else.
There was an uproar all around. Liu Qingcheng stared blankly at the falling light, and suddenly remembered that not long ago, when Chen Kuang held her and protected her life, the back and chest were tightly together.
What was she thinking at that time?
The thought that flashed through her for a moment seemed to be that the man's chest and arms were so hard, so hot, and so broad, as if they could hold up the collapsed sky.
"It turns out it's really possible..."
Liu Qingcheng murmured.
There was an itching warmth in her heart, like a new sprout sprouting from the soil that quietly pushed through the layers of darkness above her head and broke through the ground.
She suddenly wanted to rush out, rush to the place where the stream of light fell, and look at Chen Kuang's face.
But the situation is still unclear, and the alliance leader and several elders have not returned.
Liu Qingcheng has just started practicing and has almost no cultivation. Going out now is tantamount to seeking death and ruining other people's plans.
So, she could only wait obediently.
When the commotion outside finally subsided, many practitioners took to the streets again.
The demon clan in Jinfeng Tower received messages one after another, confirming that they were temporarily safe and that the leader and elders would be back soon. They cheered and went out to prepare to welcome them.
Liu Qingcheng also quickly tidied up her messy and dirty skirt, blended in with the crowd, walked to the door and looked around reservedly.
She saw the leader of the Shanhai Alliance who looked like a child, and she saw Yu Xiangsi... But Liu Qingcheng didn't find that familiar face.
Yu Xiangsi walked up to Liu Qingcheng and hesitated, saying nothing.
But Liu Qingcheng already knew what she was going to say, and her mind was in chaos.
Liu Qingcheng was familiar with this mother who had taught her for many years. Her throat was dry, and it took a long time before she spoke with difficulty: "He's gone?"
Yu Xiangsi was stunned and joked: "I thought you would ask him if he was dead."
Liu Qingcheng shook her head and said firmly: "He will not die."
Seeing that she looked calm, Yu Xiangsi asked strangely: "Do you believe him so much?"
Liu Qingcheng suddenly blinked: "I don't believe him, I understand you, mom. Even if he is really dead, if you see me like this, you will definitely lie to me that he just left."
"This way, I won't be too sad."
Yu Xiangsi was a little funny, but felt relieved in her heart.
What she fears most is that Liu Qingcheng is trapped in it and cannot get out... After Qingcheng was rescued by Chen Kuang, the way she looked at him was like a newborn chick looking at an old hen.
Now the old hen flapped her wings and left, leaving behind a confused little chicken who didn't know where to go. It was pitiful to think about it.
Yu Xiangsi looked at Liu Qingcheng and said, "What are your plans in the future?"
Liu Qingcheng was silent for a while, then asked: "Can I ask...what are the Shanhai Alliance going to do next?"
Yu Xiangsi informed Liu Qingcheng of "Kui"'s plan - it was all a conspiracy anyway. If the Yang Kingdom could survive, it could only be said to be destiny, and the national destiny should not be cut off.
Liu Qingcheng took a deep breath and said softly:
"My cultivation level is too low. Even if I follow the Shanhai Alliance, I won't be of much use."
Yu Xiangsi had no intention of forcing you to stay, and said: "Then you will stay in the Jinfeng Tower? This is the intelligence agency of the Shanhai Alliance. There is no need to show your face anymore... Originally, I just wanted to train you, and in a few years, I will be the leader of Xu Ni. The pavilion has also developed into something similar to the Jinfeng Tower."
Liu Qingcheng shook her head and said, "I want to go to Yong'an Prefecture."
Yu Xiangsi was a little confused: "Yong'an Prefecture? That is also the main battlefield of the Shanhai Alliance. It is very dangerous. If you don't act with the Shanhai Alliance, what are you going to do there?"
Liu Qingcheng raised her head with a pair of beautiful eyes: "I want to save people. The skills he taught me can save people... Even if I just save one person, it can make me feel more at ease."
The "Quanshu Sutra" is the most authentic Taoist method, which can exorcise demons and eliminate evil, and can also cure diseases and save people.
There are millions of victims in Yong'an Prefecture who are now displaced.
Most of them should gather to rebel, but there are still many who are just ordinary victims who cannot wait for any help.
In this world, there are so many people who can cover the sky with one hand, but not many people are willing to lend a helping hand to the weak.
She was willing to be the one.
Not for anything else, just because she was also weak and helpless, but she had also seen that light.
Yu Xiang thought for a while and nodded: "That's fine."
No matter what Liu Qingcheng chooses later, in Yong'an Prefecture, with the Shanhai Alliance taking care of her, it is actually safer than in other places.
Yu Xiangsi can also understand why Liu Qingcheng did this. The disappearance of Xuni Pavilion was indeed a huge blow to the latter, and he needed some psychological comfort.
She sighed and said: "Qingcheng, you insist on doing this, I won't advise you, it's just that this road is not easy to walk..."
Yu Xiangsi chattered for a while as before, and Liu Qingcheng listened quietly without getting impatient.
After Yu Xiangsi finished speaking, Liu Qingcheng suddenly said:
"Since there is no longer Xuni Pavilion, Elder Baihu no longer needs to call me Qingcheng. In the past, before my mother passed away, she gave me a name."
Qingcheng is just a fancy name just to sound nice.
During this time, she also roughly understood how her mother died back then - Jinfeng Tower was the main demon clan stronghold, and Xuni Pavilion was developed later. Before that, Xuni Pavilion was built by It is run by mortals, so they treat half-demon so cruelly.
The approximate time of this turning point was exactly when Yu Xiangsi... or Bai Hu pretended to be Yu Xiangsi and became the madam of Xuni Pavilion.
Yu Xiangsi was stunned. She had not thought of this, because Yu Xiangsi was her real name.
She asked curiously: "What's the name?"
Liu Qingcheng took a deep breath, showed a shallow smile, and said:
"Cike, from now on, my name is Liu Cike."
I can't write a word when I am shocked and return to Hong. I know autumn best when I say goodbye to fallen leaves.
…
Cang Xing led his disciples and rushed to the border of Zangfeng Prefecture, only to realize that the scene in front of him was far more terrifying than imagined.
As far as the naked eye can see, all the way to the horizon, is blank.
Everything here just disappeared out of thin air, leaving nothing behind.
Everyone took a breath and subconsciously held their breath for a while.
Cang Xing became more and more convinced that Lord Martial Saint must have taken action, otherwise how could other saints suddenly come here.
But where has Master Wusheng gone?
Cang Xing looked around, but could not find the figure of the simple and dark young man.
Could it be that... Lord Martial Saint has already left?
Cang Xing couldn't help but regret that he was not well prepared this time, and he didn't even say a few words to Master Wu Sheng. He was just confirming the arrangements and subsequent tasks with Chen Kuang.
But it’s not a big problem. After this incident, Master Wusheng must have a full understanding of his abilities and understand that even in the Wusheng Pavilion full of talents, he is a rare and capable general!
Cang Xing touched his beard and raised the corners of his mouth quite proudly and confidently, feeling that he was very high-spirited.
Their Martial Saint Pavilion, although it has the word Martial Saint in name.
But in fact... he had little to do with Wu Sheng at first.
In fact, the members of the cabinet gathered together because they worshiped the Martial Saint and were inspired to follow the Martial Saint. They chose the most prestigious Wen Hongsheng as the cabinet leader.
Although later, Master Wusheng appreciated their sincerity and recognized the existence of Wusheng Pavilion.
Allowing Wusheng Pavilion to be built on Mount Tai and to maintain the missionary monument is equivalent to changing from a non-governmental organization to a semi-official organization.
But in fact, there are very few people who can see Wu Sheng in person and work for him.
Even Wen Hongsheng probably hasn't seen Wu Sheng himself a few times in the past few decades.
And ordinary grandmasters like Cang Xing, especially those who founded their own sect and were far away from Taishan, did not have much say in Wusheng Pavilion.
But now, it's very different!
He, Cang Xing, was a confidant who had fought with the Martial Saint.
Although he didn't say a few words, Cang Xing thought that he had completed this task perfectly, and he could almost feel Lord Wu Sheng's appreciation for him.
It's a pity that I couldn't see Lord Martial Saint take action from close range.
A precious opportunity for enlightenment was wasted!
While Cang Xing felt regretful, he asked his disciples to spread out and search around to see if they could find the Tao Yun left by Lord Martial Saint.
But it is a pity that this boundless wilderness is so clean that there is really nothing left.
Cang Xing returned without success, so he had to go back the same way.
But while jumping on the roof, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and suddenly spotted a somewhat lonely figure hesitating in an alley between the streets.
Cang Xing was overjoyed and jumped down immediately, half-kneeling with his fists clasped on the ground: "Master Martial Saint, you are here!"
Mo Xu was startled suddenly, and his whole body became stiff and he did not dare to move.
Why is this guy here at this time? !
But it seems that he hasn't discovered that this is a scam...
Mo Xu was extremely panicked, thinking of trying to deal with it and then finding a chance to leave.
But then, he found that the surroundings were already filled with other Mei Sect disciples, and they all knelt down.
However, in the eyes of Mo Xu, who had no cultivation at all, these people were like wild beasts besieging their prey.
And he is the weak, helpless and pitiful prey creature that has been trapped inside.
Mo Xu wanted to cry but had no tears.
He was originally placed by Chen Kuang in a residence under the name of the Shanhai Alliance, and he had no business at all.
After it was almost safe, he came out and wanted to go back to Jinfeng Tower to have a look.
As soon as the result came out, he was caught again by Cang Xing.
And it seemed that if he didn't give them an explanation, he might not be able to get out today...
Seeing his silence, Cang Xing felt a little uneasy and said: "Master Wu Sheng, the Yang Kingdom Court, Shennong Division and that saint have insulted our Wu Sheng Pavilion and disrespected you, so I declared war on them on behalf of Wu Sheng Pavilion. If you feel inappropriate……"
Mo Xu was stunned. This person declared war on Yang Kingdom on behalf of Wusheng Pavilion?
He is not a fool. He has seen the basic situation clearly during this period of time, and naturally knows that Wusheng Pavilion actually has no hatred against Yang Guo at all.
But because of Chen Kuang's deception, a grandmaster from Wusheng Pavilion suddenly joined the battle.
Now he is directly declaring war...
The Shennong Division is definitely not small in size. It is the top sect in the Yang Kingdom. Although it is not as good as the Wusheng Pavilion, it is not difficult to compare with the Three Tribulations Sect.
Huangfu Yan's reputation is not outstanding, but he is truly the pinnacle of the Grandmaster, claiming that one person can equal one master!
What's more, there is also an ancestor of Shennong Si Xuanxuan Realm who is in seclusion.
In other words, as soon as this war begins... Wusheng Pavilion will have a powerful enemy!
Mo Xu's heart skipped a beat.
As long as...he speaks now and pretends that he is really a martial saint.
But this is difficult, because Chen Kuang was the mediator before, and Mo Xu was just a decoration and tool.
Without Chen Kuang, could he really succeed?
a long time.
Mo Xu said: "It doesn't matter, you did a good job."
Cang Xing paused, and then when Mo Xu was so nervous that he clenched his fists, he said enthusiastically: "Yes! Lord Martial Saint! Thank you Lord Martial Saint for the compliment!"
Mo Xu was in a daze for a moment.
It turns out that what Chen Kuang said is true——
"When you stand in front of those people, you are the Martial Saint."
…
In the ruined temple.
The sparks on the fire were buzzing.
Chen Kuang raised his head expressionlessly and saw a leprous-headed Taoist priest waddling up to him, then casually lifted up his Taoist robe and sat down.
The muscles on Chen Kuang's back were stiff, and he heard the Taoist priest grinning and saying:
"Jiang Wuya, a poor man, is here to help you kill the monsters behind you."
