Chapter 190 The Boy is Willing
Gao Jian leaped up, holding his sword high. A dazzling blade light condensed on the blade, as if it was going to tear the entire sky apart.

With a low shout, the long sword suddenly slashed down, the sword light poured out like a galaxy, and dragon thunder exploded.

The earth veins erupted again.

"Volcano?!" Xi Beast exclaimed!

How could there be an underground volcano in a place like this?
why?

Gao Jian doesn’t know either.

This was not something he had arranged in advance, it could only be a coincidence.

But, since the surrounding terrain is like this, wouldn’t it be stupid not to take advantage of it?

This is a super, super huge firecracker.

And there is a little secret story about the evening beast.

Xi Beast is afraid of loud noises and the color red.

Therefore, in the entire Divine Dynasty, most places will choose to set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve, which is actually a part of the "sacrifice".

The green color that the evening beast spews out is the opposite of red.

The silent stillness brought by the dusk beast will also be affected by the loud noise.

Everything actually has its expression.

At this moment——

The underground fire and lava were red like blood, flowing in the boiling solid flames.

The twisted circuits flashing bright red light seemed to be flowing with destructive violence and vitality from the ground. Various extremely blurred shapes kept rolling in the flames, seeming to contain all things.

The dancing flames seemed to represent the destruction of life.

This kind of power rushed into the single eye of the dusk beast in a brilliant and violent form!
The Xi Beast seemed to be under some kind of strong oppression, and the disaster energy on its body spread and became more illusory...

The underground volcano erupted completely! The active world was so terrifying that the onlookers seemed to feel their own destruction. Whether it was their souls or their bodies, they seemed to have died the moment they witnessed the power of the world!
Those ordinary gods, who formed a part of the dusk beasts, were stunned. The pulsating and rolling pillars of fire had completely filled their hearts, causing them to temporarily lose the ability to think.

Just half an hour ago, when Gao Jian had just fallen to the ground, he had felt "fear".

Even Gao Jian was frightened.

Because the world of the living is so scary.

Now this area can't even be said to be 'alive'. It should just be a zombie that was doused with hot water, causing it to warm up a little and causing the solidified dead blood to flow a little.

But even so, it makes people think of what a spectacular scene it must have been when the world was alive.

It easily caused plate shifts, mountains to rise or disappear, and endless energy churned underground, moving entire continents and supporting all oceans...

And now, this big firecracker is the little bit of warmth left on this body.

This little bit of warmth is probably due to the fact that the Divine Dynasty uses the Temple of Heaven to drive the operation of heaven and earth, which is why it has been preserved to this day.

But no matter what, even so, the residual power of heaven and earth is terrifying enough.

The big firecracker exploded with a loud bang.

Bright red and shocking, just like the firecrackers set off on New Year's Eve.

The Xi Beast felt the threat of death, let out a shrill roar, suddenly raised its head, opened its bloody mouth, and spewed out a cold and fatal air, as if trying to create a chance for itself to escape.

The disaster energy collided with the earth energy, causing an earth-shaking roar. The air waves swept around and the ground was cracked.

Gao Jian's figure was blown away by the air wave, but he quickly steadied himself and raised the rusty knife again.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were still as firm as iron.

----------

Cangzhou is the location of the provincial capital.

The "She" of Jiangshan Sheji is right here.

This is the focus of sacrifice, the core of the state's sacrifice, and the base camp of the Zuo family.

And now, all the big shots in Cangzhou have come.

The ancestor of the Shui family, the current prefect of Cangzhou.

The leaders of each family are at least at the level of family head.

Big shots at the level of seal holders of various government offices, such as Sima of the Demon Suppression Division.

In addition, except for the Zhenjing Taoist Palace, the elders of various immortal sects all sent people to listen in, after all, the matter was of great importance.

There are also some who really cannot come, such as Zuo Lang, the ancestor of the Zuo family. He is in seclusion, trying to break through to the second level of grandmaster, and knows nothing about what is happening in the outside world.

Here are the two leaders of the Zuo family, Zuo Qing and Zuo An.

All in all, almost all the prominent forces in Cangzhou have arrived.

Because something went wrong in the Imperial College selection.

Just three days ago, when the Imperial Academy selection was halfway through, it seemed that many of the participating young masters over-drained the Yellow Spring and the Earth Veins, causing the two to erupt, which in turn triggered the revival of an underground volcano, causing the ground to collapse within a 600-mile radius of the ancient battlefield.

The entire examination room collapsed, but the situation was prevented from developing further thanks to the rescue efforts of the examiner and other people present.

At that time, the examiner, the woman with scars all over her body, broke the runaway earth veins with one punch, and stopped the volcano from erupting further.

This is a warrior at the eighth level, and his killing power is so terrifying.

However, there were still casualties among the contestants.

Most of them were injured, but the three young masters of the Zuo family and the young talents recommended by the Demon Suppression Bureau were all right at the crater of the eruption.

The three young masters of the Zuo family died suddenly on the spot.

Gao Jian was seriously injured and has been in a coma ever since.

At this time, here, the chief examiner still had a calm face and said, "I have reported to Yangjing that the Tianjian Division has activated the Lingtai, and the Tianjian Division's Sizheng will personally observe the celestial phenomena to estimate what happened in Cangzhou this time."

Everyone else nodded.

The investigation of this matter was personally conducted by Si Zheng of the Tianjian Division, so there was no need to doubt it. No one in the entire Cangzhou... No, there were few people in the entire Divine Dynasty who could compete with the other party in the matter of "observing the celestial phenomena". "Since Si Zheng personally took action, the truth must be revealed. What is the situation?" At this time, the head of the Wang family said so.

The examiner said calmly, "The opinion of the chief judge is that it was purely an accident. Judging from the movement of the energy of heaven and earth, there was indeed a large-scale disturbance of heaven and earth at that time, which was the characteristic of the rolling of Huangquan. The extraction of Huangquan caused the overall collapse."

"As for who is responsible, it's probably hard to trace. After all, the 'Xi Beast' used by the Zuo family is the one that draws the most Yin energy from Huangquan."

"This is ridiculous! The three young masters of the Zuo family are all dead, but you tell me that this is a simple accident? How could an accident be so coincidental? It's just a collapse of the earth veins, it can't hurt the Xi beast at all! There must be someone behind this!" Zuo An immediately slammed the table and shouted angrily.

"I don't care what you think. If you want to find the truth yourself, I won't stop you. But this is the result of Si Zheng using the spiritual platform to observe the celestial phenomena. If you have any opinions, you can go to the Tianjiansi." The examiner replied casually: "By the way, although something happened here, the selection is still completed. The number of places in the Imperial College has been determined. Handling accidents is also an assessment of ability. Although some people died this time, several good seedlings were selected. There will be no follow-up."

The examiner still looked indifferent.

The Zuo family was so depressed that they were speechless.

But Zuo Qing and Zuo An reached a consensus at this moment.

Zuo Qing also said immediately: "Of course, the Zuo family will do their best to investigate this matter, and I hope the examiner will not make a final conclusion."

The examiner still had a blank expression on his face: "It's up to you, but I want to advise you that the New Year's Eve festival is coming up, so don't waste too much energy. If something goes wrong on New Year's Eve, it won't just be a few young people who will die in the Zuo family."

These words caused Zuo An, Zuo Qing, and other aristocratic families and immortal sects in Cangzhou to fall into silence.

"They are just a few geniuses. The family will only be in turmoil for a dozen years. After ten or twenty years, a new generation of young people will grow up and the losses will be made up. The Zuo family should put the overall situation first." At this time, the ancestor of the Shui family suddenly spoke.

As soon as this was said, the other noble families nodded one after another, and then echoed: "Yes, the prefect is right!"

"The great sacrifice is the most important! The great sacrifice is the most important!"

"The country is peaceful and prosperous, and no more disasters can happen. The safety of the country and the well-being of the people all depend on the great sacrifice. The Zuo family cannot be careless at this time."

"They are just a few young people. It's only a matter of 20 to 30 years. It's not like the Zuo family can't have children anymore."

The end of the year is approaching, and the Zuo family would not dare to delay the year-end festival even if they had the courage to do so. During the festival, the Zuo family would not have the spare energy to conduct a large-scale investigation of the matter, and at most they could send a few people to check it out.

But can this kind of investigation compare with the personal observation by the Director of the Astronomical Observatory?
It seems impossible to think about it, it is completely futile and there is no possibility of any gain.

But if we don’t investigate now…

By the time the New Year's Eve ceremony was over, more than a month had passed. I think that by that time, the selection of the new young generation would have begun, and many people would no longer dwell on the past.

Because... the death of the young master in the past was a good thing for them, or at least it was an insignificant matter. They wanted to put an end to it as soon as possible and let their own child become the future young master of the Zuo family, which would make everyone happy.

By that time, the anger would have been vented, and the emotions of the young master's death would have completely dissipated. It would be extremely difficult to restart the investigation with the full strength of the entire family.

Both Zuo An and Zuo Qing realized this.

But it was precisely when they realized this that they broke out in a cold sweat!
Those who have no vested interests, or who find this matter troublesome, or some people with poor brains, may think that the matter should just be left alone.

But such a coincidence is impossible to trace, and it is difficult to investigate, but it has caused huge losses! You said that there is no one behind the scenes, it is simply nonsense!

who is it? !
Good advice?

It must have something to do with him!
So, Zuo Qing immediately stood up and said, "Everyone, I am the head of the Zuo family. Can you listen to me?"

The others naturally quieted down and looked at him, wondering what he was going to say.

Zuo An's face darkened, but he did not refute.

Although the other party was suppressing him secretly, he still understood at this critical juncture that it was best not to trip up Zuo Qing. He needed to use his brain as this was not the time to engage in internal fighting.

Zuo Qing talked freely, "The Imperial College selection was interrupted. Three young masters of my Zuo family died, and there were also young masters from various families. Many of them were seriously injured. Some of the injuries may even affect their future training, right?"

"Although... this won't cause any serious injuries, it will still have some impact."

When Zuo Qing said this, his tone was a little stiff.

Won't it cause any serious injuries?
indeed.

That is for other families.

The Zuo family is now facing internal and external troubles. Internally, there is a dispute over the direction between the two leaders. Externally, there is suppression from the Shui family. The destruction of the grassroots gods has led to a shrinking of power. The death of the dog Baishan Jianglonggong is equivalent to cutting off an arm of the Zuo family.

Therefore, the best choice for the Zuo family is indeed to forbear.

Endure it silently until the ancestor's retreat is over.

Our ancestors said that he would come out in two or three years at most, or as early as next year.

All the accumulation is enough, he will definitely be able to break through the two levels this time, and then he will become one of the few two-level grandmasters in the Divine Dynasty, and he will have a place even if he goes to the Divine Capital Yangjing.

So... endure it.

But you can't tolerate it all.

"My Zuo family can't take care of other things for the moment, but Gao Jian was with the three young masters at that time, which is enough to show that he knew what happened at that time. Let me use a little trick to find out the situation without hurting his soul." Zuo Qing said.

"How dare you! He is from my Demon Suppression Division! The selection quota for the Imperial College has been decided, and he will be a student next year." The Demon Suppression Division Sima immediately slammed the table and said, "You said you would move the soul? Who knows if you will do anything else?"

What a joke!
Let the Zuo family use their magical powers on Gao Jian's soul to investigate the truth?

Who could tell that the Zuo family secretly tampered with the soul?
When it comes to spiritual attainments, who in the entire Cangzhou can compare to the Zuo family?
Among the four great families in Cangzhou, the Shui family is the most balanced in development and has no specialization.

The Liu and Wang families are warriors and refiners, and they all focus on strengthening their physical bodies before thinking about other things.

Only the Zuo family has unparalleled attainments in the spiritual realm. If he wants to make any moves, there is no one in the entire Cangzhou who can effectively monitor him.

Zuo Qing said coldly: "With His Excellency the Chief Examiner supervising us, what are you worried about?"

"What do you think I am worried about? Everyone knows the Zuo family's style. What good intentions can you have?" Sima stood up directly.

The other families kept silent, after all, this matter had nothing to do with them.

"I have opened the divine gate, and you have also opened the divine gate. Let the two of us supervise it." The examiner spoke at this time.

Sima of the Demon Suppression Division frowned and immediately responded, "No! I don't accept it! Although warriors can condense their spirits, how can they compare to sorcerers in the subtle manipulation of their spirits?!"

“Besides, manipulating souls and observing memories is simply humiliating. Gao Jian has become a student of the Imperial Academy and he is also a general of the Demon-Suppression Division. How can he allow himself to be humiliated like this? As his superior, I will never agree to it! If you have any objections, you might as well go out and fight with me to see if you can do it!” Sima of the Demon-Suppression Division simply stretched out his hand and unfolded his divine will!

The atmosphere instantly became tense!
Gao Jian is a treasure in the Demon Suppression Division. They really plan to train him as their junior. He is talented enough, has a good temper, and his hatred of evil also pleases Sima. It is impossible for the Zuo family to do this!

But, at this moment——

"The boy is willing." Gao Jian's voice came.
