Chapter 432: Changes in the Dragon Palace
The impact of heavy rain is very terrible.

Especially when the water level reached above the waist, countless livestock died in the flood. Many people began to dismantle door panels and prepare to build small boats to cope with the possible disaster.

Zhang Chen was sitting on the second floor of the inn, looking at the flood on the street. He could feel that the flood was flowing in a certain direction towards the Wang Zufen tomb in Pingbian. Although the flow was very slow, the invisible force was very firm, going against the natural trend of heaven and earth, pushing the mighty water to flow to the high places in the mountains.

"Brother Zhang, go and take a look, something big has happened outside." Chen Xu appeared outside the inn rowing a small boat. He raised his head and shouted to Zhang Chen above him.

Zhang Chen looked surprised. What Chen Xu called a big deal was definitely not an ordinary big deal.

Zhang Chen picked up the oil-paper umbrella, walked down the stairs and saw that Chen Xu had already rowed the boat into the inn. Zhang Chen took a step forward and landed directly on the boat. He then activated the water control technique, and the unmanned boat sped away all the way to the outside of the city, forming a wave on the water as if a flying ship had passed by.

It was only when the boat was rowed out of the city that Zhang Chen realized that the situation outside the city was even more serious. The water outside the city was already three meters deep, and all the water was flowing against the latitude of the mountains and rivers, flowing towards the distant mountains.

At this time, Zhang Chen didn't even need to row the boat. He just needed to follow the current and he could quickly approach the distant mountains.

However, the terrain outside the city was uneven, some low-lying areas were flooded, and some high places were not affected by the flood. Zhang Chen steered the boat upstream, shuttling through the mountains all the way. When they arrived at the foot of a mountain, they abandoned the boat and climbed up the mountain, then looked at the scene in the distance and couldn't help but gasp.

In the distance, there is a concave basin with a radius of hundreds of miles. The entire basin is perfectly surrounded by mountains hundreds of meters high, and all the water flowing upstream converges in the basin.

"King Pingbian is gathering the power. This old guy wants to create an acquired terrain for the dragon to transform into a dragon to help him complete the transformation." Zhang Chen looked at the rain that was gathering and knew what Zhang Shicheng was thinking.

There is a huge crack in the basin. The rift valley is thousands of meters deep and hundreds of meters wide. It is a natural water storage area.

"Zhang Shicheng is so calculating!" Zhang Chen was secretly shocked.

Chen Xu said: "Zhang Shicheng is not a good son of man. I don't know how much trouble he caused when he turned into a dragon. The people in the north are living in misery. When he gathers enough water, I'm afraid all the people in the north will be submerged."

Although Chen Xu's words were a bit exaggerated, they did make sense.

"But the water level has reached its limit right now. If nothing unexpected happens, it shouldn't rise any further." Zhang Chen looked at the water dragons rushing back into the basin and spoke to reassure Chen Xu.

"Damn it!" Chen Xu cursed. The impact of this heavy rain was very bad.

"In fact, we should be thankful that Zhang Shicheng's transformation into a dragon and walking away is in spring, and it is not yet the busy farming season. When he completes his transformation into a dragon and walking away, whether the task is successful or not, the flood will not affect the people's farming. In fact, because the flood spreads, it will soak the earth, and next year will definitely be a bumper year."

The people in the north are suffering a lot, having to deal with a leader like Zhang Shicheng. Last year there was a severe drought, and the people were so hungry that they had to eat grass roots and tree bark and had to leave their homes. They all suffered a lot.

If we can irrigate the land thoroughly this year, there will still be a way to survive in the future.

Now all they can do is wait, wait for Zhang Shicheng to turn into a dragon, and for the dragon soul to escape from the earth veins. And the people who are in dire straits are also waiting, waiting for the rain to stop and the sky to clear.

As for drowning people?

Not at all!
The water was only waist-deep and the flow was not fast, so it was difficult for people to drown, unless they were some unlucky people.

"Have you made all the arrangements?" Zhang Chen asked Chen Xu. He was asking about seizing the true dragon's fortune.

"Everything is ready. We have to give it a try whether it succeeds or not!" Chen Xu said.

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this, and without saying anything else, he used the water escape technique to go down the mountain, returned to the inn and waited patiently.

At this time, Zhang Chen was very glad that he had a golden finger and was not a refugee. Otherwise, he didn't know how he could survive in such a world.

However, with the outbreak of the flood, the prices in the inn skyrocketed. Fortunately, Zhang Chen was not short of money, so the impact was limited.

Just half a month later, the rainstorm in the sky suddenly subsided and began to gradually subside. The heavy rain turned into a drizzle, and the flood on the ground fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Has the momentum of Zhang Shicheng's transformation from a dragon to a damselfly been completed?" Zhang Chen looked at the flood waters receding from the streets, leaving only mud on the ground, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"The big pit was filled up, forming a heavenly lake." Chen Xu walked out of the inn on the mud, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, his eyes filled with a hint of seriousness.

"I wonder when this bastard Zhang Shicheng will turn into a dragon." Zhang Chen looked at the people cleaning up the silt on the street, spitting from his mouth with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Oh!" Chen Xu sighed softly: "It's difficult!"

The two drank for a while in the inn and chatted for a while. At this time, Xie Lingyun walked in from outside the inn. Chen Xu was very tactful and left the room obediently. Xie Lingyun was sitting at the table, cursing: "Zhang Shicheng is a bastard, he is really a bastard. My Jianxiaosi camp was almost flooded. Fortunately, my Jianxiaosi camp is located on high ground, otherwise I don't know how many people would have drowned this time."

"Is the flood serious?" Zhang Chen poured wine for Xie Lingyun.

Xie Lingyun cursed, "Not many people were drowned, but too many houses collapsed and too many livestock drowned."

Zhang Chen fell silent. There was nothing he could do about this matter.

"By the way, I came to you this time because I have something to tell you." Xie Lingyun drank a glass of wine, then put down the wine cup and said, "Do you still remember the location of the Dragon Palace under the Yellow River where Zhang Shicheng's tomb is located?"

"Of course I remember." Zhang Chen nodded.

"Due to heavy rain in the north, the water of the Yellow River was turbulent and a palace was washed out in the underground world. There are some remnants and countless mechanisms in the palace. It looks very unusual. More than 30 good men in my Inspection Office have been killed." Xie Lingyun said.

Zhang Chen was stunned: "Is there a mechanism underground?"

"There's a reason why Zhang Shicheng chose to transform into a dragon there," Xie Lingyun said, "and there seems to be a mysterious force flowing in that palace, as if there are treasures hidden there."

Zhang Chen was thoughtful after hearing this: "No hurry, Zhang Shicheng is about to transform into a dragon, let's get rid of Zhang Shicheng first, then it won't be too late to explore."

For Zhang Chen, seizing the Ascension Pool is the most important thing. The Ascension Pool is of great importance to his transformation into an immortal body, so he cannot give up.

Xie Lingyun nodded, agreeing with Zhang Chen's words. Right now, the most important thing was Zhang Shicheng's transformation into a dragon. If Zhang Shicheng succeeded in transforming into a dragon during the exploration of the underground palace, that would be a loss of the greater for the smaller.

"By the way, is there any news about the Grand Eunuch?" Zhang Chen asked.

Xie Lingyun shook his head: "There is no clue, no one knows where the chief steward is hiding."

Zhang Chen was somewhat disappointed. Xie Lingyun seemed to see what Zhang Chen was thinking, so she asked, "Do you have any idea about the Longevity Tree Coffin?"

"If those bigwigs in the court can enjoy it, why can't I?" Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"You must not play with fire! The chief steward is a Yangshen master and has a twelfth-order mysterious protector in his hands. If you are not absolutely sure, you must not act rashly." Xie Lingyun hurriedly reminded Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen nodded, agreeing with Xie Lingyun's words.

Then Xie Lingyun turned and left. Zhang Chen used the earth escape technique to come to his own Bagua furnace. Looking at the blazing flame of the Bagua furnace, it was not affected by the heavy rain outside at all, and the flame was still steaming.

"I wonder if my colored world fire can refine Zhang Shicheng's soul to death? And my Divine Whip seems to need a material, which is the soul of a powerful creature." Zhang Chen looked at the colored world fire in the Bagua furnace and began to think silently in his heart. The more he thought, the more possible it seemed to him. If he put Zhang Shicheng's dragon soul into it, the material for refining the Divine Whip would be complete. At that time, the Divine Whip would have a chance to develop the power of the last twelve innate restrictions.

"Haha, Zhang Shicheng, ah Zhang Shicheng, God is going to kill you! You will never survive under this colored world fire." Zhang Chen sneered secretly in his heart.

He finally found a way to destroy Zhang Shicheng's soul!
The colored world fire is one of the most powerful flames in the world. Zhang Shicheng absolutely cannot withstand the burning of the colored world fire.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing!" Zhang Chen glanced at the Bagua Furnace, then used his escape technique to come to the Ascension Pool, and revealed his trace on an unnoticed hilltop. He looked towards the hilltop with a look of contemplation in his eyes.

At this time, the shouts and cries of killing rose to the sky in the mountains and forests. The army and gods of the Pingbian Palace started fighting with various powerful people who tried to take advantage of the situation in the mountains. The two sides continued to fight over the Ascension Pool.

Everyone could see that the Ascension Pool was a great treasure, and no one was willing to give it up. In addition, due to the rugged and steep mountains and rivers, the army of the Pingbian Palace could not form a battle formation, and even climbing up was extremely dangerous. It could be said that it would all cost human lives, which gave the masters of the martial arts world an opportunity.

If King Pingbian had not ordered his army to transform at Bashe before, giving birth to countless Qi and blood masters, the Ascension Pool would have been occupied by someone by now.

But even if there were warriors who had cultivated Qi and blood to raid the battlefield, they could not withstand the endless emergence of various martial arts masters, especially the gods who were taking advantage of the situation. At this time, they clamored to use their magical powers and unscrupulously attacked the Qi and blood warriors, making King Pingbian miserable.

foot of the mountain

King Pingbian stood in front of the formation with a gloomy face, and Mr. Wuliu beside him also looked anxious.

Soon, there were footsteps in the distance, and a messenger rushed up and kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, a team of 3,000 people has been consumed on the mountain again. Please make a decision, Your Majesty!"
