The crowd gradually dispersed.
Several members of the Questioning Heart Pavilion exchanged glances, but still gritted their teeth and walked in front of Jun Shu.
Wen Chuxue said: "Mr. Jun, about the competition..."
According to the process, the sect competition has not yet been completely decided. But if the competition continues, the other contestants may not be able to defeat the natural demon species, and they may not be able to bear it psychologically.
"Oh." Jun Shu looked indifferent and waved his hand, "I'll withdraw from the competition."
He had little interest in the competition in the first place, and participated purely to accompany Zhu Changyang and earn some prizes for the Industrial Sect.
Wen Chuxue breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll notify them..."
Jun Shu added, “Remember to return the prize to me in full.”
Everyone in the Heart-Searching Pavilion: "..."
What a frugal and simple Demon Lord!
"Of course, of course." Wen Chuxue wiped the sweat off his face, "We will give you a reward according to the first place standard."
"Not bad." Jun Shu nodded, "You are very good at doing things."
The Heart-Searching Pavilion: “…”
I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt like my work was recognized by my leader.
Hua Guangbai joked: "This year's competition is really exciting. There are actually two true masters..."
Jun Shu agreed: "Then Chang Yang and I are indeed more powerful."
Hua Guangbai:
He was talking about Master Gu Peng!
Zhu Changyang was sweating profusely, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I will withdraw from the competition too."
Wen Chuxue was puzzled: "Masters, why are you here?"
Zhu Changyang laughed dryly: "It's a long story."
To be honest, he actually just deleted his account and started over.
When I think about it, there are three small accounts in this competition, and the novice village is almost turning into a Shura field.
Of course, a small account is also a new account, so strictly speaking it does not violate any regulations.
However, this was not the reason why he withdrew from the competition, but because he had more important things to do at the moment.
Thinking of the various scenes seen in the mirror of the heart, the second half of the memory of Nagase Castle that has still been forgotten...
Zhu Changyang felt that it was time to go to Yongze.
Just as he was about to discuss the itinerary with Jun Shu, there was a sudden commotion ahead. It turned out to be Si Kou Luo and several Ji Jin Sect disciples rushing over.
Si Kou Luo's usually serious face was rarely full of joy: "Everyone, I'm sorry I'm late."
Everyone rushed to greet him.
Zhu Changyang knew what was going on when he saw this, and said with a smile, "Master Sikou, did the fairy lady successfully overcome the tribulation?"
Si Kou Luo bowed deeply and said, "Thanks to the great blessings of the Sect Master and Mr. Jun, my teacher has completed his merits and virtues. He has finally opened the blue sky and ascended to heaven with the human-faced roc."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked.
"Fairy Xia Jue ascended to heaven?!"
"As expected of the number one weapon refiner in a thousand years, so strong!"
There had been no record of ascension in the cultivation world for hundreds of years since the immortal Gu Peng. When they suddenly heard that Xia Jue had successfully transcended the tribulation, they were all very excited and congratulated him.
There were also some sour ones who murmured quietly, "Hey, didn't you say before that the fairy's spirit was damaged?"
Everyone in the Ji Jin Sect was in a good mood and just laughed it off, not taking it seriously.
However, some astute cultivators quickly realized that Xia Jue must have made a major breakthrough for him to ascend so quickly after his spiritual consciousness was damaged.
The great breakthrough of the weapon refiner was naturally the creation of a magical weapon that could reach the sky, which made people very curious.
"I wonder what treasure the fairy has refined?"
"So, wouldn't the Jijin Sect be about to surpass Yong Zhoutian and become the number one weapon refining sect in the Nine Realms?"
"That depends on whether the fairy lady left the magic weapon behind."
Most of the powerful beings who ascend to heaven will take their magical weapons with them, and only in a few special cases will they leave them behind in the human world.
Some may be sects of later generations, some may be ordinary people in this world, or simply because heaven was unwilling to let them go. It all depends on the circumstances.
Si Kou Luo ignored the others' comments and exchanged a few pleasantries with the other sect leaders. He then called Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu aside and said, "You two, please excuse me for a moment and talk."
The three of them walked to a deserted place on the edge of the cliff.
Si Kou Luo took out a spiritual wood treasure box from the mustard seed bag and handed it over: "Brothers, my master has ordered me to give this to you."
He came all the way from Shili Mountain specifically for this matter.
Zhu Changyang was startled: "Could this be...?"
"That's right." Si Kou Luo nodded slightly and said solemnly, "This is the magic weapon that Master refined using the scales of a giant octopus. It's called Sea and Land Armor."
Legend has it that in ancient times, the Ao fish had the power to hold up the sky and the earth, and the earth was on its back. Therefore, whenever it turned over, there would be earthquakes on earth.
Based on this idea, Xia Jue refined a magical weapon using the scales of a giant crocodile. It is said that it can move mountains and seas, and even reverse the vicissitudes of life. This magical weapon is called the Sea and Land Armor.
Zhu Changyang waved his hands hurriedly: "This is not good..."
Si Kou Luo was very persistent: "This is the last wish of our teacher, please accept it and don't make things difficult for us."
For the Ji Jin Sect, Xia Jue's ability to ascend is the most perfect result, and the magic weapon is only secondary.
Since Xia Jue has given the order, they should obey it.
Moreover, Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu were the main contributors to the creation of this treasure, so it is only right that it be given to them.
Zhu Changyang could not refuse, so he had to accept it. He opened the wooden box and saw a palm-sized piece of octagonal armor inside. The armor was shiny and had a strong aura, but at first glance, it didn't seem particularly surprising.
Jun Shu picked up the nail plate and looked around. He couldn't figure out what it was for a moment, but he still expressed his gratitude politely.
Zhu Changyang then put away the sea and land armor.
Si Kou Luo breathed a sigh of relief, then asked about Zhu Changyang's progress in overcoming the tribulation, congratulated him, and then reminded him with some concern: "There is one thing you brothers should know."
Zhu Changyang: "Please speak."
Si Kou Luo said seriously: "I heard that the brothers used the 'lightning rod' to survive the catastrophe. However, when I saw Master ascend, he needed to let the mysterious lightning cleanse his body so that he could be reborn and achieve a true Dharma body. I'm afraid that what you are doing is not the right way..."
"It's okay." Zhu Changyang knew that he meant well, so he didn't say much, just smiled and said, "I know my limits."
.
The news of Xia Jue's ascension quickly shook the nine realms, and the righteous were jubilant.
At the same time, the Demon Realm was also rejoicing over the return of the natural born demon species. Jiufang Ruo and Dong Yaoyan argued fiercely over whether Jun Shu should go to the Western Region or the Eastern Region to inspect first, and they almost came to blows.
Finally, the two decided to go to Jun Shu for the final decision, but they found that Jun Shu had already left.
It turned out that the matter of Yingzhou had just been settled, and before Zhu Changyang had time to catch his breath, he received an urgent message from Jie Li: [Yongze is flooding, Changping is in danger]
Zhu Changyang was shocked and did not dare to hesitate at all. He grabbed the developer overnight and took the teleportation array back to Changping Realm with Jun Shu.
After coming out of the teleportation array, the two stepped into the accumulated water.
Zhu Changyang was caught off guard and half of his body was wet. Looking forward, he saw that the streets outside were all flooded. The accumulated water overflowed the threshold and entered the house, soaking his calves.
"Master, Brother Jun!" Jie Li, along with the Changping City Lord Fei Shiqian and representatives of the city's aristocratic families had already been waiting on the side. When they saw the two men appear, they hurried over to greet them.
Fei Shiqian bowed and saluted: "You two are finally back!"
Zhu Changyang quickly calmed down and asked, "City Lord, may I ask what is going on?"
Clearly two days ago, Jie Li had written to him in a jade edict that the heavy rain was gradually stopping and that he need not worry. But in the blink of an eye, Changping was flooded like this.
Fei Shiqian looked gloomy and said, "Let's go upstairs first."
The group came out of the teleportation array operation office and moved to the second floor of a nearby restaurant, where they finally found a place to stay.
The rain was still falling outside the window, making the city foggy.
Zhu Changyang looked out from the building and through the rain, he could see more clearly that the entire city was submerged in water and had almost become an ocean.
This scene was very similar to the Yongze City he saw in his mind mirror. That ancient city was also soaked in water like this back then.
Zhu Changyang's heart began to beat wildly: "This rain..."
"The rain is just an inducement." Fei Shiqian sighed, "The real cause of the disaster is Yongze."
Zhu Changyang was stunned: "Please tell me more about this, City Lord."
Fei Shiqian said that in the past decade or so, the water level in Yongze has been rising suddenly and continuously for some unknown reason.
It was not very obvious in previous years, but in the past two years, although there was not much rain, the water level in Yongze rose faster than before.
They had discovered this situation earlier and felt uneasy at the time.
It should be noted that Changping is right next to Yongze. If Yongze continues to rise like this, the whole area will be affected sooner or later.
For this reason, the city even invited a Taoist priest to find out the reason, but the enchanted water could not be approached at all.
All those who entered Yongze never returned, and their whereabouts are still unknown. I'm afraid they were eaten by fish.
Fei Shiqian had no choice but to make other plans.
"I heard that Elder Yong Zhou Tian Hou has a magic weapon called the Sun and Moon Pot, which can hold the size of an entire city, so I went to him to ask for help, hoping that if Yongze really suffers a flood one day, he can help..." Fei Shiqian said.
Zhu Changyang suddenly understood what was going on.
No wonder Elder Hou and his son were able to act so arrogantly in Changping before, and Fei Shiqian obviously disliked them but was always tolerant of them.
It turned out that it was all for the purpose of borrowing the Sun and Moon Pot to receive the water from Yongze at the critical moment.
But I didn’t expect that the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes.
There have been continuous heavy rains during this period, and the water level of the Pengxue River has been fierce. The already precarious water level of Yongze has quickly broken through the warning line with this wave of boost.
Fei Shiqian saw that something was not right and hurried to ask to go to Daishan, but was turned away.
Having said this, he paused, looking a little embarrassed.
Zhu Changyang was not surprised and said, "It seems that Elder Hou bears a grudge against the Industrial Sect and is deliberately making things difficult for you?"
"That's right." Fei Shiqian wiped his sweat and said dryly, "Elder Hou said that now the city is using the electricity from the Industrial Sect, and everyone says that the Industrial Sect is good, so we should ask the Industrial Sect for help..."
Jun Shu's face darkened: "Really a scumbag."
Developer: “Meow meow meow!”
Big mixed bag!
"Calm down." Zhu Changyang sweated a little, and held down the demon and the cat. "City Lord, please continue."
Fei Shiqian continued, he begged for several days and promised a generous reward, and finally got Elder Hou to give in.
Unexpectedly, a few days ago, something happened to Yong Zhutian and most of the disciples, including the sect master and Elder Hou, suddenly left Daishan.
Fei Shiqian was extremely anxious. He finally waited for them to come back, but was told that Elder Hou was seriously injured and most of his cultivation was wasted, and his magic weapon, the Sun and Moon Pot, was taken away by the sect leader Gui Shengmo.
Gui Shengmo has been living in seclusion in recent years, but he often came to Changping in his early years and was a very kind and righteous person.
Fei Shiqian originally thought that he would be more talkative, but he didn't expect that his temperament had changed drastically. He had no regard for their old friendship and simply refused to see him.
And the day before yesterday, what Fei Shiqian was most worried about finally happened. The water level in Yongze rose sharply again and flowed back into the city, putting the entire Changping area in danger.
"I have sent people to various immortal gates to invite immortal masters, but for some reason, those immortal masters seemed to have made an appointment and were not at home these few days." Fei Shiqian sighed, "This is probably fate, Changping Realm is destined to be unable to escape this disaster..."
"There is no such thing as fate." Zhu Changyang comforted, "Those immortal masters just went to Yingzhou for a meeting. If you had told me about this earlier, I would have informed them at the same time."
Fei Shiqian:
Jun Shu sneered: "If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have shown mercy to Hou's men. I should have just killed them."
Fei Shiqian:
Isn't the Industrial Sect a small sect that was established not long ago? Why does it sound like it is going to dominate the world of cultivation and beat Yongri Tian
