Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 508: Attrition
Xu Xuan held the letters in his hand with a meaningful expression.

The Prefect of Dongyang is quite an interesting person.

He was a colleague of Professor Gu and served as a Doctor of Five Classics. He was skilled in water conservancy repair and conflict mediation, and performed exceptionally well during his tenure.

He's really good at mediating conflicts; he can even protect someone like Zhuge Liang, and he can use this method to leverage the other party's wisdom and abilities to handle thorny issues.

This art of employing people lies in the word "honesty." By clearly demonstrating mutual benefit, they naturally cooperate with each other.

Unfortunately, being too capable isn't always a good thing.

After all, in this day and age, officials who possess both talent and virtue are extremely rare.

The court intends to transfer him to Linhai County as governor, where floods are rampant and the people suffer greatly. A capable person is needed to take charge.

So, Zhuge Liang
The final turning point in your life is coming; this is the time to venture out and make your mark.

Xu Xuan prepared to communicate with firm and powerful goodwill.

After all, when faced with this mix of affectation, failure, obsession, and pride in an elderly person, a heavy blow is the best medicine.

Either kill them or give them a second chance.

I hope the other person can break free from the prison in their heart and walk out alive.

Although this world is terrible, there are still underground armed organizations like the Baoan Hall that are doing their best to protect the people of Kyushu.

It's such a waste of his abilities to keep wallowing in this decadence.

After all, if more capable people could help us, the world would become a better place much faster.

The reason for these feelings and the preparation to use drastic measures to intimidate Zhuge Wolong is because the Baoan Hall has suffered a reduction in its personnel.

Master Mao ultimately failed to save his department's employees, and still fell victim to the pear-planting Taoist's poisonous hand.

The cruelty of the cultivation world once again bared its fangs, biting and killing a promising young man.

Thanks to Gui Da's abilities, they found fragments of a broken magical artifact in a desolate wilderness. Fortunately, they had practiced the Shu Mountain introductory techniques and found the escaped soul in the wilderness.

After being nurtured in the Yin Soul Wood for three days, an altar was set up at Baoan Hall yesterday to send it into reincarnation.

The Taoist priest and Xu Xuan performed the ritual together, sending them directly into the cycle of reincarnation.

Because of his meritorious service in suppressing water demons and plague ghosts while traveling in Jiangnan, he may be reborn into a better family in his next life.

This is a blessing in misfortune.

Xu Xuan felt deeply about this because he had died.

I understand the grief and resentment after death. Even I, with my own state of mind, couldn't suppress those negative emotions and had to rely on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to bear the calamities and overcome them.

After being reborn, my behavior changed somewhat, becoming more proactive and aggressive, but it still seems insufficient now.

As for the Taoist priest who planted pears, he was also found. He was an unorthodox cultivator who was skilled in illusion and teleportation techniques.

Having learned some heretical magic, he wanted to roam the mortal world and called himself a living immortal.

After discovering that the rogue monk from Baoan Hall was following him, he set a trap and then decisively killed him.

Afterwards, he prepared to flee to the north, but was caught up by the enraged Taoist priest Mao, who shattered his physical body with a divine sword and shook his soul. His essence, energy, and spirit were then used to nourish heaven and earth on the spot.

This incident also served as a wake-up call for everyone: we must be cautious when going out and doing things.

It may seem like just an investigation task, without any conflict whatsoever.

But others won't think that way, nor will they cooperate. In fact, like this time, they might directly retaliate without giving anyone a chance to explain.

When you die, there is nothing.

Therefore, the Taoist priest temporarily put aside his work and began to retrain the independent practitioners.

The previous lax work style was a recipe for disaster in the increasingly harsh working environment of Baoan Hall.

After participating in the ritual of deliverance, Yan Chixia went to Jingzhou to meet up with Li Yingqi.

During his demon-slaying journey, Li Xianfeng discovered traces of several Shushan Divine Swords and is currently recovering them.

With the time to conquer Dongting Lake drawing ever closer, there was little time left for everyone to gather strength. Only after all these matters were settled did Xu Xuan have time to leave Qiantang.

Alone, he rode his small cart towards Dongyang County.

the other side.

"Holy Mother, I have come to find you."

A devout follower of the White Lotus sect emerged from the misty Dongting Lake; he was none other than the Great Compassionate Dharma King.

At this moment, her magical power was completely depleted, her soul was hidden away, and her vital energy was only that of an ordinary person.

His eyes were also slightly cloudy, and he showed no signs of being a great cultivator.

Walking along the riverbank attracted a predatory water demon, who then turned into a rain of blood at Wusheng's command.

"Indeed, the remnants of divine power are more useful than magic."

His magical power remained intact, and he continued to cast spells with ease.

At this moment, all fluctuations were simply concealed by a very clever method.

Unless one encounters a transcendent being like the Dragon King of the Yangtze River, no one in this world should be able to see her true form again.

The Great Compassionate Dharma King and the Cloud Lord have reached an agreement that the Dharma King will help him achieve his final transcendence against all odds, and has even handed over the rare treasures stolen from the Northern Headquarters.

Having paid such a huge price, they gained control over a portion of the power of the clouds and mist, which allows them to conceal their own fluctuations.

With the collapse of the divine way, the remaining divine power and authority are extremely scarce.

If we were to draw an analogy, it would be that the fallen judge Lu handed over his judge's pen to someone else, which was an extremely dangerous move.

Yun Zhongjun has great ambition, so naturally he reaps greater rewards.

Da Ci felt it was all worth the price he paid.

Without the cover of clouds and mist, the Jiangnan region would be too dangerous.

She was actually terrified.

They feared that they would suffer a sudden calamity before finding the Virgin Mary.

Before crossing the river, the Great Compassionate Dharma King had gathered a lot of intelligence and knew that many eminent figures in the sect had perished here.

Among those known are Zhu Wuyong of the Three Realms, the sorcerer Li Shaoweng, and the Great Treasure Dharma King.

This accomplice, who was supposedly hiding in the Jiangnan region and stirring up trouble, was actually already dead.

The righteous alliance led by Monk Daoyi, with its daily frantic deployments and pursuits, is all just self-directed and self-acted.

This perfectly reflects this person's style of doing things: safety first.

However, because of the Water God Seal, Yun Zhongjun has ordered his eight lesser demon kings to take extra care of Bai Lian, so the so-called pursuit of Bai Lian will have to stop for a while.

The death of the Karmapa was indeed kept secret, and no one in the Northern Buddhist sects knew about it.

Because the new headquarters cannot retain the life-giving flame, the Dharma Kings are also unwilling to leave behind the soul lamp.

Everyone has different thoughts, so why would they leave something like this as a hindrance?

I only found out about this through some special means.

The seemingly gentle Jiangnan region is actually more dangerous than the war-torn north.

For at least the past thirty years, neither the court's experts nor the wild gods worshipped by the Hu people had caused such a major event as the death of the Dharma King.

Furthermore, the new ruler of Taihu Lake was a warlike monarch, further escalating the chaos in Jiangnan.

The imperial court's attempt to expel the plague failed recently, and even more shockingly, a powerful demon appeared. Even the Great Compassionate Dharma King, who was hiding in the clouds, was terrified.

King Yu, a being feared by all the water demons, even the Lord of the Clouds was unwilling to face him directly.

With frequent celestial changes and the outbreak of calamities, a chaotic era has arrived.
