Chapter 86 Eastward Journey (1)

The fog, the endless fog, obscures the memory.

Suddenly, the rolling fog was torn apart by several bright rays of light.

In the light, human voices and inexplicable images could be vaguely heard.

……

A strong scent of medicinal herbs and ink wafted in the air.

"He'er, you're not doing your job again, writing these messy books!"

The old man with white hair and beard, wearing a black robe, glared at the young man in reproach and grabbed his ear in pretend anger.

Although he looked fierce, he actually did not use any strength. He seemed to be aggressive, but in fact it was just a lot of thunder but little rain, and he did not use much effort.

The boy begged for mercy and tried to explain:
"Dad, these storybooks will definitely be popular! We can earn a lot of spirit stones!"

"Humph! What Monkey King, what Tang Sanzang, at most they can earn some earthly gold and silver, who would spend spirit stones to buy these things!"

The old man snorted heavily and disagreed.

He turned his head away angrily and said in a pretended angry tone:
"If I hadn't had a child in my old age, and you were my only child, I would have beaten you to death a long time ago. What are you standing there for? Go back and eat!"

"Okay, okay, He'er is very diligent in his practice, so don't push him too hard."

The other woman laughed cheerfully.

……

The aroma of barbecue filled the air under the light of the bonfire.

The monster's corpse fell to the side, and the young man was processing the monster's meat.

"Brother Jiang! Your cooking skills are really good,"

The beautiful girl held the boy's face in her hands and looked at him admiringly.

In the woods with sparse moonlight, the night was quiet, and the two sat side by side in a harmonious atmosphere.

The boy secretly rejoiced in his heart, but still tried to remain calm:
"Wan'er, if you like, eat more. I'll bake some more for you."

With a beautiful woman by his side and a bright future, the young man is full of ambitions.

……

The girl stepped on the headless corpse and smiled sweetly:
"Brother Jiang, didn't you say you wanted to be my Taoist partner?"

The wine table was overturned, the food was scattered on the ground, but it was still emitting steam.

"How come it's obviously not like that?"

The boy stepped back in disbelief.

"Well, the Venerable has given me this, so I'll try it on you, Brother Jiang~"

The girl smiled with an ambiguous tone, her voice friendly and teasing.

……

The middle-aged man held the injured black-haired girl in his arms with trembling hands:
"Jin'er, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I..."

He looked painful. The little girl in his arms stretched out her hand and wiped away the tears on his face. She said in a childish voice:
"Master, don't cry, don't cry, Jin'er doesn't blame you"

The middle-aged man suddenly looked stern, slapped her on the face, grabbed her hair and grinned:

"Don't blame the master, you little bastard. I'm teaching you not to trust others easily."

"Jin'er, believe in Master." The girl said with difficulty.

There was a flash of struggle and pain in the man's eyes, but it was fleeting.

That ray of clarity disappeared into the depths.

He roared as if provoked:
"Do you still believe me?"

Another slap was thrown at the little girl, and her cheeks were red and swollen. She continued to wipe the tears that kept flowing from the man:
"Believe."

"I'm asking you a question! Do you still believe it?"

As her fists and feet pounded, her white teeth turned blood red, and she spoke incoherently:
"Believe."

……

The man's soul was severely damaged by Lin Chi's soul-stunning technique, and he lay half-dead on the bed.

The sea of ​​consciousness cracked, and those hidden memories emerged. His consciousness became turbid and gradually sank:

"Who am I? I am Jiang He, and I am Jiang He. I never expected that I am Jiang He."

Someone gently held his hand and called him:
"Hey! Jiang He, you're not really dead..."

There was a faint choking in the voice.

Warm liquid flows down the throat into the stomach, continuously.

The dim Xuanhuang Pearl glowed again, and the reshaping and rebirth effects of the two realms of the Rebirth Technique were operating at the same time.

"Jiang He, trash, scum, don't die..."

The man murmured weakly, and then fell silent.

After an unknown amount of time, a cry of surprise rang out:
"Master?!"

……

Four years ago, an event that shocked the world occurred in Zhu Mingyu, causing a sensation in the entire cultivation world.

In Zezhou, one of the nine states in Zhuming Territory, a demonic monk sacrificed blood on the entire Daze Mountain Range.

The blood sacrifice affected half of Zezhou, and countless mortal monks died directly or indirectly in this blood sacrifice.

According to the survivors of Qingmu Castle at that time, the blood sacrifice was performed by a monk named Jiang He, who intended to improve his cultivation by performing a blood sacrifice in Zezhou.

The scene during the blood sacrifice was like hell on earth and was horrifying.

The father killed the son, the son killed the father...

The loved ones killed each other under the influence of the blood sacrifice formation, and the monsters turned into a beast tide, trampling the city.

Whether it is a mortal or a monk, it is difficult to escape from this catastrophe.

There were so many casualties that one could even see the souls of the dead covering the sky, and blood flowed like a sea, submerging half of Zezhou.

This tragic scene caused many different opinions at the time.

Some people claim that this blood sacrifice was actually planned by the demon clan.

His intention was to take advantage of the leaderlessness of Zhuming Territory, create chaos and casualties, and take control of Zhuming Territory.

He swore with great confidence that he saw a real dragon emerging in Zezhou.

The True Dragon clan has been the leader of the demon clan since ancient times.

Now that he has appeared at the blood sacrifice site again, and there is a towering demon ape guarding him, it can be further proved that this is a conspiracy of the demon clan!
Of course, some people scoffed at this, saying that real dragons had been unknown to the world since the era of immortals and had long since become extinct from this world.

Even if I were still alive, I would never take such a risk.

When the true dragons declined during the Age of Immortals, they were regarded as treasures and hunted by a group of immortals.

How dare we go deep into the human territory now?

Besides, how could a real dragon be beaten and flee in fear by a Jindan Zhenren? It was probably just a demon snake.

Some people also claim that there is an ancient secret realm here, which contains countless natural treasures and magical weapons, as well as ancient formations.

The demon cultivator named Jiang He obtained the treasure and took control of the ancient formation.

Just now, with his mere Qi training ability, he caused such a tragedy.

But now, this Qi training demon cultivator has been seriously injured and escaped, carrying the treasure
In order to quell the growing chaos in the world of cultivation, the three major immortal sects hurriedly stepped forward to calm the situation.

It was announced that the incident was caused by Tai Zhen Tian and Shen Gan Sect, and the crackdown on the Demon Sect began. At the same time, the demon clan was condemned and accused of interfering in the internal affairs of the human race.

Everyone suddenly realized that he was just a casual Qi-cultivating cultivator, and most likely a puppet pushed out by the Demon Sect.

But Jiang He cannot escape the blame either. It must be profitable for him to have caused such a huge catastrophe!
Even so, there is an immortal sect to calm the situation.

During the four years, the chaos in Zezhou continued to intensify. Taizhentian and Shenganjiao openly entered Zhuming territory and established their own sects.

It emerged from beneath the water, revealing the fangs that had been buried for thousands of years.

The Shen Gan Sect, in particular, announced that it would hold a holy sacrifice in two years and arrogantly invited the three major immortal sects to watch the ceremony.

The Great Jin Dynasty, at the center of the situation, had already fallen apart, and countless people were displaced.

Even in the entire Zhuming Domain, not only mortals, but even cultivators, are consciously fleeing to other domains.

To escape from this increasingly dangerous vortex.
