As the deity of the local land and the first to appear in the city after the flood, the old man could of course find the cultivator from Qianyuan Sect. He used earth escape to pass through most of the city and came to the outside of the ruined city gate.
The door panels of the four city gates have all been found and are not broken. They have now been propped up to temporarily block the city gates. Although they cannot be opened and closed flexibly, they can at least provide some protection against wild beasts.
And just outside the city gate, at the foot of the city wall, there were two immortals sitting cross-legged in meditation. The mud and sand on the ground swayed slightly, a puff of smoke emerged from the ground, and the land god holding a cane also appeared from underground.
"Greetings to the two immortals."
The God of Land bowed to the two immortal cultivators. Both of them were immortals from the Qianyuan Sect. They had great backgrounds and unfathomable cultivation.
The two people who were meditating opened their eyes and looked at the old man in front of them, and one of them said.
"Don't be so polite, God of Land. I wonder what brings you here?"
The old man didn't beat around the bush. He took out the ring-shaped white jade from his sleeve pocket and handed it over with both hands.
"This item suddenly appeared in my hands. I dare not neglect it and immediately sent it to the two immortals. If there is really this Immortal Master Lu in your immortal palace, please give it to me."
The two monks looked at each other, and one of them stood up, walked to the God of Land, bowed first, and then took the peace locket from his hand.
"This is… "
The monk stopped talking as soon as he opened his mouth. Another person also stepped forward to check the white jade and asked the Earth God about it.
"Did you feel any other scent after receiving this jade?"
"No."
The God of Land answered truthfully. Judging from the expressions of the two immortal cultivators, the person shown on the white jade should indeed exist.
"Well, you go back and continue to manage the situation in the city. I will deal with this jade later."
"Okay, I'll take my leave."
The God of Land said nothing and disappeared in front of the two men after his greeting. The two monks waited for the God of Land to leave, and then one of them stayed to continue meditating outside the city, while the other jumped up and flew away on the wind.
Half a day later, this Qianyuan Sect disciple fell from the sky onto a small hill. Although the hill was not big, it was still covered with lush vegetation in this cold winter, with spiritual springs flowing and exotic flowers blooming. There were Qianyuan Sect disciples sitting cross-legged in meditation everywhere on the hill. There were also hidden restrictions outside the hill, which was a treasure of the Qianyuan Sect.
There is a fairly exquisite building in the middle of the hill, but there are only a few houses and the pavilions are not very tall. These houses are the place where several masters of the Qianyuan Sect temporarily rest.
The monk walked slowly to the middle position. In the courtyard, the old beggar, Dao Yuanzi, Lian Baiping and another long-bearded old man from Tianji Pavilion were sitting at a table in the yard, looking at a few copper coins on the table. Seeing that no one inside moved or spoke, the monk hesitated for a moment and then bowed solemnly towards the inside.
"Disciple Gu Tang wishes to see the Master and Elder Lu."
The old beggar and Dao Yuanzi turned to look outside the yard.
"What is it?"
"I handed this item over to you. It was requested by Elder Lu to be opened in person. I don't know who left it here. It appeared directly in the hands of the city's land god. Apart from a faint fragrance, there is no special smell left."
"For me?"
The old beggar glanced at Dao Yuanzi, stood up and walked to the door, reached out and picked up the jade pendant from near the monk, and there was indeed the words "Personally written by Lu Niansheng of the Qianyuan Sect" printed on it.
"Junior brother, your whereabouts are quite secretive. You were not allowed to take direct action during the several confrontations. Who could have sent the letter?"
"You'll know after you see it."
The old beggar looked at the jade ring for a while, then put it close to his nose and sniffed it, then grinned.
"I'm afraid this thing was made by a woman. It has a faint scent of rouge from the mortal world."
As he spoke, the old beggar concentrated on feeling the white jade, and with a thought he broke through the simple restrictions inside it. A faint divine thought extended from it, revealing the information left by Niu Batian.
After a long time, the old beggar frowned and looked at Dao Yuanzi.
"Brother, this letter was left by a reliable person. The content is not much but it is indeed somewhat shocking. It seems that the Apocalypse Alliance is really not afraid of being punished by heaven."
"how do I say this?"
The old beggar did not say anything clearly, but just pushed his hand towards the monk at the gate of the courtyard. After the latter tactfully said "Disciple, I'll take my leave" and left, the old beggar returned to the table in the courtyard, stretched out his hand to the copper coin array on the table, turned over the two copper coins on the south side, and stood up another copper coin.
"Hiss..."
"How dare you do this..."
Lian Baiping and another long-bearded old man stood up directly. Dao Yuanzi, who was sitting at the table, also narrowed his eyes. Under the interaction between heaven and man, his feelings when he saw the copper coin after it had changed were even stronger than those of the two long-bearded old men.
There is no need to ask the old beggar anything like "take it seriously". The coin has changed, and the previously vague secrets have become much clearer. Combined with the feedback from the spiritual platform of communication between heaven and man, the facts can be basically determined.
"It's useless to say more. The actions of demons cannot be predicted by common sense. Besides, there is more than one nine-tailed fox demon in the Apocalypse Alliance. It's a pity that we didn't meet it at the previous stop."
Dao Yuanzi glanced at his junior fellow apprentice. He knew the origin of the treasure in his junior fellow apprentice's hand. He had wanted to borrow it to have a look, but unfortunately the old beggar only held it in his hand for him to look at, and he didn't even have the chance to play with it.
After Dao Yuanzi said this, he walked directly to the outside of the courtyard and gave orders in a loud voice.
"Qianyuan Sect disciples, listen up. There is no need to worry about showing your presence in front of mortals. Any evildoers you see can be quickly killed on the spot. Notify all sects, schools, islands, and caves to send disciples to increase coastal patrols. Also send envoys to all countries in the mortal world. This is the order."
The sound spread throughout the entire hill. At the same time, rays of light from Dao Yuanzi's hands flowed to various places in the mountain. They were all orders from the head monk.
A moment later, fairy light appeared on the hill, and streams of light shot up to the sky and then spread out in all directions.
Niu Batian and Lu Shanjun were of course aware of the old beggar. In addition, people from the Apocalypse League had previously said that they had met a powerful beggar. They basically guessed who the beggar was based on his characteristics, so they told him their mission and what they knew. Even if that person was not Lu Niansheng, the white jade would most likely return to the hands of the masters of the Qianyuan Sect.
The task that Niu Batian had received before was to establish a "reception formation" with some companions. In recent years, the Apocalypse Alliance has secretly used the realm ferry to stir up trouble on all sides, and has also found out the locations of some suitable spiritual caves between realms. It is also connected with the two wastelands, secretly forming a network of demons and evil ways.
Originally, the timing was certainly not ripe, but now, they suddenly have to make a desperate bet on Tianyuzhou and prepare to initiate the apocalypse on behalf of Heaven ahead of time. The so-called cleansing of the filth of heaven and earth and recreating the universe sounds good, but in fact, they want to extradite the demons from all sides, including the two wastelands, who have established ties with the Tianqi League, and let a considerable number of them come to Tianyuzhou.
There is no need to worry about fate and divine punishment. You can do whatever you want. No matter what method you use, you must take the destiny of the earth away from the hands of the weak human race. You must act on behalf of heaven. Why should you care
Of course, because he was in the Apocalypse Alliance and had his concerns, Lao Niu could not explain it very clearly in the white jade peace buckle, but he roughly expressed a considerable degree of warning, and with the ability of a master of the immortal way, he should be able to deduce a lot.
…
A dozen days later, in the early morning, in the capital of a mortal country in the southern part of Tianyu Continent, a morning court session was being held in the imperial palace.
The king of a country sat on the throne rubbing his forehead, looking at the ministers arguing endlessly below. Wars, natural disasters, plagues, and even some evil things like monsters everywhere have disturbed the emperor's sleep for a long time. He asked himself that he was not a stupid king, so why there were so many troubles this year.
"Your Majesty, we are now facing internal and external troubles. We should temporarily stop the fighting and provide disaster relief and food to appease the people. It will not be too late to fight again after we have recovered."
"Your Majesty, I think what Lord Lu said makes sense, but we should also recruit new soldiers and train them. We are facing internal and external troubles and powerful enemies. We can't stop the war just because we want to. Moreover, there are internal unrest, bandits and even monsters. How can we guarantee safety if we don't have enough military strength?"
"this… "
"That makes sense..."
"Ridiculous! Now that the troops outside the country have been withdrawn, we are able to defend our homeland. We are in an advantageous position, so we can naturally succeed in negotiating peace!"
…
The ministers below started arguing again. The emperor rubbed his forehead. He was of course aware that things would get worse and worse if they continued like this, but it was really difficult to have the best of both worlds. Moreover, the enemy's condition was worse, so maybe they could be crushed and the emperor could alleviate domestic worries by plundering the enemy. Otherwise, the war would have been fought in vain.
"You guys don't have to quarrel anymore."
A loud voice suddenly sounded, drowning out all the other sounds in the hall. Everyone's attention was focused on the entrance of the hall. The guards nearby were all startled and subconsciously grasped the hilts of their swords.
"Who are you to dare to make a noise in front of the Golden Palace?"
A guard shouted and approached the newcomer, but the latter just glanced at the guard, and there was a terrifying deterrent that frightened him to the spot.
"I am an immortal cultivator from the Qianyuan Sect of Yuyuan Mountain in the sea. I have come here to inform your majesty and all the ministers that the war should stop now. The army in the country should do its best to sweep away the filth in the country, suppress the bandits, punish the evil spirits, and destroy the lewd temples..."
A word came from afar, and the people who came were like overlapping shadows, and they went straight to the center of the hall.
"At the same time, please announce to the world that you should set up an altar to ask all the gods, ghosts and land gods in the country to temporarily put aside the boundary of human interference and obey the orders of our Qianyuan Sect and support humanity together!"
Everyone in the hall was shocked and confused, but the person who came had already flicked his sleeves, and a scroll emitting a faint golden light flew out of his sleeves and unfolded, shining with fairy light, and flew directly into the hands of the emperor.
"Take this book and set up an altar to pray to the gods of the country and the world, and they will respond!"
The immortal cultivator who brought the message came and went in a hurry. After he finished speaking, clouds appeared under his feet and he flew out of the hall and ascended to heaven, leaving only the ministers in the hall and other people who saw him exclaiming that he was an immortal. The emperor, holding the scroll, was stunned and speechless. There was a divine message from above, which made him understand a lot of things.
