New and dark light years

Chapter 451 A Single Strike Decides the Outcome
The time soon came to evening.

In the village, someone made a lot of big pots of porridge... and some dark pickled vegetables to eat with it.

Being able to drink plain porridge, without any rice husks or bran in it, is already considered a very good meal.

Under normal circumstances, an average person eats two meals a day, one liquid and one solid.

Being able to have an extra meal at the Zhuxian Guild in the evening is considered a pretty good treatment.

Chu Rengong was drinking plain porridge, which he found somewhat unsettling.

She used to enjoy drinking plain congee in the evening, but at the Li family's house, she eats delicious food and drinks spicy food, and now she doesn't really care for plain congee anymore.

What's more, these pickled vegetables are a bit smelly and dark.

Therefore, she finished the porridge and pickled vegetables with a frown on her face.

Fortunately, her face was quite dirty, and it was getting dark, so others couldn't see her expression, which prevented her from giving herself away.

Because she found the food unpalatable, Chu Rengong was almost the last to finish eating. Just as she put the broken bowl down, she heard someone shouting from the front, "Chief Zeng is here!"

Then a dozen men lined up in two rows and simultaneously threw their long swords into the air, forming a temporary 'aerial passage'.

Then he shouted, "Jin County Branch, welcome Leader Zeng!"

At that moment, a red figure appeared, stepping through the air and using the path of the sword thrown in mid-air as leverage, steadily "flying" all the way to the rooftop.

With a final, stylish turn, her red skirt left a trail of red in the moonlight, looking incredibly dashing.

Everyone in the village knelt down on one knee, and Chu Rengong followed suit.

At the same time, she became certain of one thing: the leader of the Zeng branch was indeed Zeng Hongluo.

Zeng Hongluo looked down at her gang members and nodded with satisfaction. Her face was full of charm as she said, "Brothers and sisters, I, Zeng Hongluo, have come to Jin County for two reasons. One is to kill the cultivator Li Lin, and the other is to plunder the treasury of Yulin County. This place is very wealthy under Li Lin's management. As long as we kill Li Lin, each of us can seize a lot of money for the gang and for ourselves."

"The helmsman is wise."

A group of gang members shouted excitedly.

Chu Rengong's eyes were practically spitting fire; she wanted to kill this woman right now, but she held back.

Because she wanted to hear what this woman had to say.

At this moment, Zeng Hongluo continued, "I know some people have been in Yulin County for quite a while and think that Li Lin was a good official and shouldn't have been killed. But you don't understand what it means to be a cultivator."

The gang members were puzzled, and most of them looked up at her.

The Chu people's palace is also an example.

Zeng Hongluo continued, "The spiritual energy of this world is finite. Cultivators are extremely greedy; the more spiritual energy they absorb, the less we ordinary people get. And most importantly, every immortal who achieves enlightenment is a calamity for this world. Hundreds of years ago, someone became an immortal... Do you know what happened?"

The gang members watched her silently.

The Chu people were also quite curious.

"That immortal, for his own selfish reasons, destroyed the entire Heavenly Palace and all the gods who controlled this world at that time." Zeng Honglu snorted. "Without gods, the world naturally descends into chaos. Why are there so many bad people in this world? Because there are no gods. Why are you starving and freezing? Because there are no gods. Why are you bullied by high-ranking officials? Also because there are no gods. If there were still gods, the world would reward good and evil accordingly, instead of letting bad people live for thousands of years..."

As Zeng Hongluo finished speaking, her gaze swept over the crowd below. Then she hesitated for a moment, stared intently at one person, and finally smiled.

“You!” Zeng Hongluo pointed at Chu Rengong: “Stand up.”

Everyone looked over, and Chu Rengong had no choice but to get up.

Zeng Hongluo saw Chu Rengong and laughed: "I remember telling you before that your disguise skills are terrible. Are you not learning your lesson?"

Chu Rengong wiped her face, revealing a smooth and beautiful face. She smiled and said, "I am naturally beautiful and do not need to learn makeup or disguise. Unlike you, you rely on heavy makeup to cover up your ugly face."

"You're asking for it." Zeng Honglu snorted. "I really didn't expect you to dare to sneak in."

Chu Rengong laughed and said, "Why wouldn't I dare... Zeng Hongluo, I haven't even settled the score with you for what you did to me last time."

"You actually didn't poison Li Lin. I'm curious too. How did you discover that the paper I gave you was poisoned?" Chu Rengong's eyes suddenly turned murderous: "My husband is extremely intelligent. How could a mere poison trick possibly stump him? Zeng Hongluo, I'll give you a chance. If you obediently come down here, I can give you a whole corpse."

Zeng Hongluo was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "What nonsense are you talking about? There are hundreds of brothers and sisters here, how can you fight me?"

"No matter how many lackeys you have, they're still just lackeys."

Chu Rengong drew his longsword, then took out a gourd from his back, poured out some luminous dust, and smeared it on the sword.

"Do you think I didn't?"

Zeng Hongluo also took out a wine gourd from her back and poured out the light dust, but she poured it into the red silk cloth in her hand instead of the long sword.

After pouring out all the light dust at once, Zeng Hongluo looked at the light dust on the silk cloth with satisfaction, then pointed at Chu Rengong and shouted: "Branch disciples, listen to my command, kill this person for me, she is a traitor to the gang."

A group of people jumped up, drew their weapons, and ran towards the Chu palace while shouting wildly.

But at this time, a woman appeared beside Chu Rengong.

She is very beautiful and has a bewitching aura.

The sudden appearance of this person made Zeng Honglu feel that something was wrong.

The woman was naturally Li Yanjing. She smiled at Zeng Hongluo, then looked at the gang members rushing over, and simply waved her hand slowly.

Extremely cold air burst forth from her body and spread outwards.

They quickly caught up with the first group of gang members who rushed up. They saw that these people were running slower and slower, and then they stopped in place.

Their bodies were quickly covered in ice, turning them into ice sculptures.

Upon seeing this, Zeng Hongluo exclaimed, "A great monster?"

At this moment, Zeng Hongluo discovered that although Chu Rengong's wine gourd had been emptied of stardust, the latter was still applying light dust to his sword.

Zeng Hongluo looked closely and discovered that Chu Rengong's left hand was actually able to condense specks of light dust. Although there weren't many or that they were dense, it was indeed condensing light dust.

Zeng Hongluo had a bad feeling.

Just as she was about to run, Chu Rengong looked up, raised his sword, and laughed, "Tian Jing Sha!"

As she swung her sword, countless specks of light and dust fell from the sky.

Upon seeing this, Zeng Hongluo immediately brandished the silk handkerchief in her hand and shouted through gritted teeth, "The Milky Way is as numerous as sand!"

A ray of starlight fell from the heavens, and a wisp of light rose from the ground, like life floating on the sea.

The two collide.

Everything around seemed to have turned into light.

Almost everyone squinted at the light.

When the light finally came to a close, Chu Rengong was seen panting heavily.

Opposite her, Zeng Hongluo was riddled with wounds, blood flowing all over the ground, and even her face was covered with countless small holes.

But Zeng Hongluo is still alive; she is still breathing.

He walked past the Chu Palace.

“Kill me, quickly…” Zeng Hongluo said with difficulty.

Chu Rengong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a relaxed attitude, "Ugly freak, I'm not going to do as you wish. I'm going to take you to see my husband, and he will judge your crime."

"Kill me now! I don't want any man to see me looking like this! Hurry!"

Zeng Hongluo let out a shrill scream.
