Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 339 Emperor, how dare you sleep?
In the northern border region, the night was shrouded in darkness.

Chen Xuli stood on the cloud boat and could hear his own heartbeat.

He gazed down at the earth below, where he saw the shadowy mountains that resembled lurking evil dragons.

Despite the darkness of night, his eyesight was exceptional.

In the sparse starlight, he could see the desolate landscape.

The ground is mostly bare, and the mountain shadows are barren with ravines crisscrossing the landscape. For thousands of miles, there is only occasional greenery, but it is mostly found in places rarely visited by people.

The vast land is silent and bustling.

The saying that nine out of ten houses are empty is not an exaggeration at all.

Suddenly, Chen Xu saw a strange noise coming from a certain mountain hollow.

First, smoke rose into the air, followed moments later by angry screams and shouts of fighting.

They faced each other with swords drawn, fighting to the death.

Grinding its teeth and sucking blood, its resentment soared to the heavens.

The desperate cries of people almost tore the sky apart, but they could not break through the heat and drought all around them.

"Zhou Laosi, you really betrayed me! A sneak attack in the middle of the night, you guys are really something... Have you forgotten who saved you when you were about to die?"

"Ah!" The voice that responded was filled with the desperate pain of a trapped animal. "You saved me! But don't pretend I don't know, you killed my Xiaoni and Shuanzhu, you killed them!"

Why did you kill them? You think I don't know?
Where does this meat from the mountains come from? You think I don't know?

I saw it all, I saw it all, ahhhhhh…

The roar seemed to shake the entire night sky apart.

Another voice shouted back, "What the hell are you pretending to be now? I didn't go and catch your little brat. He was sent over by your father to exchange with me!"

Were you blind or deaf when your dad did this? Don't tell me you didn't know.

You son of a bitch, you were enjoying your meat when it was being eaten, but now that you want to steal my food, you're acting like a saint and a victim.

"Bah! Even if I die today, I'll kill you, you bastard, first!"

boom!
Bang bang bang!
The sounds of fighting filled the air—male voices, female voices, the voices of the young and strong, the voices of the old, the voices of the hoarse…

The sounds mingled together.

But there were almost no children's voices.

Those people lit a raging fire in the mountain valley and started fighting amongst themselves.

Some cried out to put out the fire, while others, even in death, could not escape the sea of ​​hatred and love.

"Why...why did you kill me?" This is an unbelievable falling out between husband and wife.

The woman said, "You made me go and keep Guo Laoda company, and then you secretly complained about me. You caused the death of my unborn child, and I want to avenge my child."

The man fell to the ground, struggling and crying, "I can't raise it! Damn God, who can you raise? Even if you're pregnant, the child won't survive."

It's better to get rid of it sooner rather than later. If you don't, how can you survive carrying it in your belly?

The woman seized the initiative, wielding a wood-chopping knife and hacking away relentlessly, roaring furiously:
Whether I live or die is my business! The child wasn't conceived in your body, so what right do you have to make decisions for me?
Don't think I don't know. You've already secretly conspired with Boss Guo to kill me when I'm exhausted!
They all deserve to die, they all should die, ahhhhh…

The man, on the verge of death, hissed and laughed: "Heh heh, heh... Zhang Jiuniang, Zhang Jiuniang, what do you hate? You think you'll be so smug after killing me?"
No, that's not it. You also need to think about where that bowl of broth you drank came from.

Don't lie to yourself, hehe, hehe..."

"Ah!" Zhang Jiuniang screamed in despair.

With a sudden, swift stroke, the man's neck was severed.

boom!
Rumbling--

But then one could hear withered trees falling and rocks flying everywhere.

Some of the fighting and crying people died, some lived. Some emerged from the thick smoke, while others continued their desperate struggle.

Some fought tooth and nail for a mere half-piece of slightly moist bark, while others wisely protected themselves, secretly hiding their belongings and hastily fleeing the battlefield.

The cloud boat stopped on the dark sky, and upon seeing this scene, it was almost stopped by the evil aura.

The impact of what I'm seeing is truly extraordinary.

Wen Daoyuan stood with his hands clasped to one side, but solemnly reminded Chen Xu:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, don't get distracted!"
"The most urgent thing now is for you to calculate the waterway, then continue. If not, we must return immediately."

Chen Xu's brain was actually working at lightning speed the whole time.

Yunzhou traveled from south to north, and the extreme calculations along the way almost drained his brain.

Such a massive amount of computation would be impossible for even a master of water conservancy and mathematics to calculate, even if given ten or eight years and dozens or hundreds of people, they might not be able to solve it clearly.

If Chen Xu hadn't achieved some success in his cultivation, reaching the Golden Core stage, and hadn't had a balanced and outstanding three-elemental attribute, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer.

Therefore, even though the scene before him was extremely shocking, Chen Xu could only glance at it and move on.

It wasn't that he had become numb, but rather that he truly couldn't spare any more energy to think about anything else.

His gaze lingered more on the ravines and shadows of the mountains.

Those roads, those valleys, those parched farmlands, those undulating mountain shadows...

He pointed downwards and said, "This place is suitable for a waterway to pass through. The North-South Canal flows through here and should encircle this area."

As he spoke, he habitually tried to turn the cloud disc in front of him again.

However, the cloud disk he had summoned had long since vanished like smoke as the northern frontier dried up.

Feng Yuanbo had previously stated that the severe drought in northern Xinjiang was no small matter.

A great Confucian scholar and a Taoist master entered the realm, attempting to perform rituals and summon wind and rain, but they failed at every turn.

Clouds come and go, rain comes and goes.

The drought demon was brewing, causing great resistance to the operation of all water-based spells in this area.

Some were scions of noble families, or members of the Prison Guard who went to the northern frontier to exorcise demons, but they too fell into this trap in droves.

When Chen Xu first heard Feng Yuanbai's account, he felt thrilled, but to be honest, since he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he still lacked a sense of reality.

But now that I've come here in person and compared it to the prosperity of the seven prefectures of Tiannan—

No, it shouldn't be compared to the Seven Prefectures of Tiannan.

The truth is, it should be compared with the peaceful and prosperous life in the Jade Capital.

Those who are not in a position should not concern themselves with its affairs, but those in positions of power, or even the emperor, might not be able to sleep soundly after seeing the tragic situation in the northern frontier.

Chen Xu was unaware of the specifics of Yujing Tiandu; he simply acted as he cast spells faster than his brain worked.

His mind was almost completely filled with various high-speed data, and he subconsciously waved his hand, wanting to summon another cloud of mist.

Unexpectedly, this very summons brought forth a massive heatwave.

boom--

The heatwave transformed into raging flames, accompanied by a cloud of smoke and a series of chaotic roars, which suddenly rushed towards Chen Xu.

"Young master, you've arrived..."

"Young master, go to hell..."

Amidst the raging flames, dark figures twisted and chuckled, then transformed into arms that reached out to grab Chen Xu.
