Yefutidaolu

Chapter 199 Head-on Collision, Solar Eclipse
Gao Jian hadn't even drawn his sword yet, he was just standing there.

But the aura of the fifth realm has already risen into the sky.

Gao Jian stepped forward and said with a smile: "Four of you, how about this? I know that everyone is following orders, but whose orders are they following... I think you all know it in your hearts."

Yes, whose orders are we taking?

Who else could it be.

The Zuo family.

The officers climbed up and looked at each other, their expressions hesitant and conflicted. They wanted to step forward, but they didn't dare.

"Everyone, do you want to get involved in the dispute between the aristocratic families?" Gao Jian gripped the hilt of the knife.

Several officers shuddered and lowered their heads.

They are indeed disciples of the immortal sect, but if they get involved in the disputes among the aristocratic families... there will be no good results.

After thinking about it, they saw the gradually rising blood and energy smoke of Gao Jian.

Then they put away the clangs and water and fire sticks and chose to retreat.

Gao Jian nodded: "Thank you."

"We dare not." The officers lowered their heads and retreated to the side of the road.

There were cheers coming from behind Gao Jian!

"High School Lieutenant! High School Lieutenant!"

They still call it that.

Although Gao Jian's current position is a general, they still chose to call him "Captain".

Amidst cheers, Gao Jian walked in front and pushed open the door of the inner city.

Yes.

There is a huge difference between the inner city and the outer city, there is a difference between the upper and the lower, there are ten thousand differences in social class, culture, wealth, and spiritual strength, differences that can never be made up.

But after all, on a physical level, isn't it just a wall?

What? A mortal cannot walk these few steps?
A world of difference?

Haha, if you look closely at this road, it’s only thirty meters long.

Gao Jian led the mortal through the thirty feet.

Once you enter here, you will enter the world of practitioners.

It was already noon. The Baishan River in the middle of Cangzhou was rippling. There were many ships and boats on it, and the sound of rudders and oars hitting the water was endless.

The oars broke up the light and shadows reflected on the surface of the river. Passenger ships, cargo ships, canals, ferries, all kinds of ships, their planks intertwined.

The city looks neat and tidy, with noisy sounds and crowds of people. Motor vehicles are moving and spirit beasts are swinging. There is a rainbow thousands of feet long in the sky above the tall buildings and a flying boat is passing above the rainbow. It is clearly winter, but there are treetops brushing against the water and towering buildings.

There are birds, flying swords, vehicles, and various other strange-shaped magical weapons flying through the sky from time to time, as well as strange-shaped monsters and even some wooden mechanisms that can fly. The variety of designs is dazzling.

There is greenery everywhere, fragrant smells, surrounded by trees, colorful tents and crowds of people, flying boats go by like the wind, horses pass by like thunder, and among the crowd there are elegant young men, graceful young girls, wealthy men, and majestic warriors, and everyone looks extraordinary.

The beautiful pavilions extend continuously and are connected by bridges. You can see the flying eaves and painted walls, all of which are like floating fairies in the clouds. Overlooking the river, you can see the endless scenery.

This……

This is the inner city.

A completely different world.

Those who came in to collect debts were stunned.

Although there is only a wall between them, they have never come in.

All they saw was the outer city.

Needless to say, the appearance of the outer city is always that black and that gray.

And here, it's colorful.

The inner city of Cangzhou siphons away every bit of vitality from the entire Cangzhou, which spans 70,000 to 80,000 miles.

Every mine, every mountain, every piece of farmland, every village, every tree, even every monster settlement, and even every person and every inch of land.

The crystallization of all this is the inner city of Cangzhou.

In the world of practitioners, all kinds of techniques, all kinds of magical powers, and all kinds of magic weapons truly show their colors here.

The gray blood color of the entire Cangzhou nourishes the colorful flowers in the inner city.

The crying and howling, whether real or fake, had stopped within thirty feet.

No one was crying, they were all watching.

They forgot to cry. The gorgeous city of practitioners before their eyes broke through their hearts in an instant. They had never thought that... this city in this world, this Cangzhou City, actually had such a side.

However, the people in the inner city of Cangzhou soon looked over here.

Those young gentlemen who were smiling and raising their glasses, those young ladies who were picking flowers for fun, those warriors who were walking around with extraordinary bravery, the disciples of immortal sects, the children of aristocratic families, the independent cultivators who had achieved some success, all those who were accepted into the inner city, all looked towards the parade at this moment.

The whole team was startled and stopped, not daring to move forward any further.

Ma Xisheng's apprentice, who had been so arrogant before, now shrank back and dared not utter a word again.

Because they all had the same idea at the same time.

"Forget it."

They don't want money anymore, they are afraid.

There wasn't even any hostility, but just the look in his eyes made them retreat.

But at this moment...

Gao Jian drew his sword.

The sword energy split the clouds! In an instant, the ground five hundred steps ahead cracked!

"What are you looking at!?" Gao Jian's voice came: "If you have something to do, do it. If not, get out of the way!"

After he finished speaking, he was seen striding with his head held high, his official uniform of the Demon Suppression Division rustling, and he pointed his rusty knife at an angle, the blade one foot long!
Gao Jian walked forward.

Fifth realm warrior!
Even in the inner city, this is considered stronger than most people.

As a result, many people retracted their gazes and chose to retreat.

If you are just at the fifth level, you are definitely not qualified to do this.

There must be someone behind this.

It’s better not to mix it up.

A vanguard has reached the fifth realm, I dare not imagine how terrifying it is behind him.

So, Gao Jian led everyone through the thirty-meter-long road.

From here, a warm feeling came over me.

Although it is winter outside, it is like spring inside the city.

The crowd stopped shouting and just followed Gao Jian mechanically. At this moment, their spirits had been worn out. The reason they could still move forward was entirely because of Gao Jian's leadership. Gao Jian's knife not only silenced the people in front of him, but also cut off their retreat.

Just keep moving forward.

But at this moment, a chanting sound suddenly came from the crowd.

"Welcome the gods, the sky opens, and the fragrant wind comes from the south."

"God has bestowed good fortune upon us, with rain and sunshine falling at the right time, and all the spirits have come together to flourish."

"The sun, the moon, and the stars of the year, the heavens show their thoughts, the gods are divided into different positions, Yu He Tai Sui commands all the gods!"

This passage is the "ritual and music" of sacrifice!
The main deity praised in the songs is the 'Tai Sui God', who is also known as the 'Ancestor of Plague' and 'Tai Sui Lingjun'. He is one of the star officials and is the emperor of the year. Therefore, he should not be offended, otherwise it would be disastrous.

The classics say: "If the sun offends the ruler of the year, disasters will be severe."

A long, long time ago...

No, it wasn't long ago. Just a few months ago, when Gao Jian was in Baishanjiang Dragon Palace, he had seen the charm from the Zuo family. It was something that the Zuo family deliberately left for outsiders to see. It was a souvenir of the scene where Zuo Lang, the ancestor of the Zuo family, single-handedly suppressed the Baishanjiang Dragon King. It was something for others to "investigate".

The one who recorded these was Zuo Lang himself, who used the charm of the 'God of Plague'. (For details, see Chapter 81)
At that time, the 'God of Plague', or the "Ancestor of Plague" or "Taisui Lingjun", as the god in heaven, was the great power displayed by Zuo Lang.

And now, the Zuo family took this thing out again.

Gao Jian nodded slightly.

That's right.

This is the follower of the Zuo family.

Whether it is the catastrophic 'Xi Beast', the demon gods we see every day, or the current Tai Sui Lingjun, they are all the unmistakable power of the Zuo family.

The Zuo family is a family of witches and shamans who make a living by manipulating disasters and calamities and casting curses!

The rampant spread of voodoo was caused by witches like these!
This is also the origin of the Zuo family's style of doing things.

The real trump card of the Zuo family is the 'Tai Sui Ling Jun', or the 'Tai Sui Xing Jun'!
The gods of heaven and plague that existed in ancient times, Tai Sui, are the lord of all killing. With Tai Sui as his guide, all the disease symbols and official symbols will cause disasters. In the yang, it means drought, in the yin, it means flood. There will be a famine every six years and a famine every twelve years. Sudden defeat, natural disasters and other evil spirits will come together, bringing countless disasters, and even death!

As this chanting of prayers came, the next moment, all the gods descended!
Water does not moisten downwards, fire does not burn upwards, wood does not bend or straighten, metal does not change, and earth does not produce crops.

The five elements are out of balance!

At this moment, in this inner city, the Zuo family took action brazenly!
Under the power of the God of Plague, disasters occur!
Constant cold, constant cloudy weather, snow and frost, hail, fish plague, locusts, pig plague, dragon and snake plague, horse anomalies, human disease, epidemic, drum monster, meteorite, flood, water change, black spot, black omen

In the Zuo family’s garden, a black gas suddenly rose up and went straight to the sky. In a moment, the black gas rose up and connected with the black gas in the sun like a bridge.

Then, the black air spread!
The sun was blocked and an artificial solar eclipse occurred.

In an instant, the surrounding scene darkened.

A circle of red light appeared around the black sun, as if strange red blood was flowing on a black round cake.

The red light illuminates the sky, and the light in the sky is as fiery as fire, covering the sky. It contains red light and is as sharp as a sword or halberd shooting upwards.

There is constant heat, strange grass, and feathered insects on the feet. The air is like a broom, and there is a sound like a drum inside.

Behind this dark sun that shed blood, in the path ahead of Gao Jian, stood ten thousand gods.

The lowest level is four realms, the highest level is seven realms.

Ten thousand heroic generals and various demon gods were suspended in the air, their auras merged into one, causing sand to fly and trees to uproot, and the surface of the Baishan River below was constantly turbulent.

The air seemed to expand, and the scenery was distorted as a result, just like when a flame is lit, the scenery seen at the tip of the flame will be distorted.

A low drumbeat filled the air.

In addition, there are various sounds of sacrificial worship.

Various musical instruments played the terrifying "sacrificial music".

The music was so heavy and so majestic that it seemed to shake people's hearts and minds. The sounds of the sacrificial music came from all directions, as if the whole world was wailing under the dark sun.

Under this blood-red sky and the low-pitched sacrificial music, a sense of oppression surged like a tide, making it hard to breathe.

Countless gods and heroes stand tall.

They have various shapes, some are turtles, some are dragons, some are tigers, some are jackals, and there are also some dead souls and some dead practitioners who have been canonized by the Zuo family.

There are a lot of demons and monsters, but the only thing you can't see is "God".

But there is no doubt that this is the 'god' of Cangzhou now, a 'real god' who is worshipped and receives incense from the common people of Cangzhou. He has a long scroll and seal from the imperial court and an imperial decree from the Zuo family.

Their bodies were very illusory, and the smell of incense was constantly churning, as if it was the influence of the black sun in the sky, causing the smell of incense of these gods to undergo some kind of ghostly distortion.

Each god is not alone. They seem to have integrated the power of other gods, intertwined and connected with each other, exuding a strong pressure. Under the solar eclipse, their eyes are like burning charcoal, and the black mist wrapped around their bodies seems to wriggle with life, sometimes condensing into hideous faces, and sometimes turning into countless twisted tentacles.

The dark sun was still bleeding, and the red light poured down like a waterfall, dyeing the whole world bloody.

This is a disaster brought by the 'God of Plague'.

"Wow, what a big scene." Gao Jian exclaimed, holding the knife, looking at the myriad gods that appeared before him.

The Ten Thousand Gods were floating in the air, so they did not touch the buildings in the inner city. These buildings themselves were also lighting up with the light of the formation, and they obviously had the ability to protect themselves. Everyone knew that a fight might break out here.

Those thousands of people squatted down, as quiet as chickens, unable to utter a word, their faces pale and trembling.

They had actually expected that there would be a fight. After all, if they followed Gao Jian to do this kind of thing, if there was no fight, then to be honest, Gao Jian didn't need them.

But they felt that they were not good people either, so they were not afraid. When it came to killing and fighting, these craftsmen who were doing well in the outer city and earning more than ten gold coins a year were not afraid.

Who among them didn't have a few lives on their hands? Some of them were brave enough to kill people in the streets at the age of ten in a place like the outer city. They were very courageous.

How could one have a business of his own in a chaotic spider's nest like the outer city without courage?

But now, all that courage has dissipated.

Killing people in the street at the age of ten may seem powerful, but when you get to the palace, you will still be so scared that you tremble all over, sweat profusely, and even your hands will shake so much that you can't hold things steadily.

Because the levels are different.

The gathering of tens of thousands of demons, gods and ghosts before them reflects the Zuo family’s serious attitude.

When the Zuo family seriously wanted to take action against Gao Jian, their courage was completely useless. Everyone was stunned and squatted on the ground.

Gao Jian stood in the front and smiled.

"The Zuo family took advantage of others and owed them money, so they came to our door and this is the attitude they get?" Gao Jian raised his head and said so.

The demon gods and ghosts did not reply, but looked behind them.

Behind him, Zuo An appeared here.

His injuries have been fully recovered with the resources and wealth of the Zuo family, and he is now a complete sixth realm, looking at Gao Jian with a disdainful look.

The former high-ranking officials had no chance against him.

Now Gao Jian raised his knife and pointed it at Zuo'an who was walking in the air.

"No, why pretend like that?" Gao Jian smiled and said, "You don't think I didn't bring anyone with me, do you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck the group of demons and gods!

A real dragon appeared in the sky!
