The area surrounding Siming Lake, Chunsong River, Luoshui River, and Yunya River.

Those who need to be evacuated should be evacuated, and those who need to take precautions should take precautions.

In fact, based on Xiao Mo's countless calculations and his many years of preparation, Ru Xue's journey across the river would have almost no impact on the common people.

I did this primarily to prevent problems from arising in the first place.

March 3rd.

Early in the morning.

Xiao Mo arrived at a village thirty miles away from Gan Yuebo.

Meanwhile, beside that clear, emerald-green pond.

A woman in a white dress with extremely beautiful features slowly put down the package in her hand.

The woman transformed into a six-zhang-long white python and swam into the pool.

"Boom!"

A deep, long, and resounding bang echoed through the air.

Xiao Mo raised his head and looked at the lightning gradually gathering in the sky thirty miles away.

Ru Xue has started walking along the river.

Chapter 72 But can she really let go?

"Boom!"

One thunderous roar after another echoed through the sky, as if trying to shatter the heavens.

Dark clouds kept gathering above Gan Yue Bo, as if the thick black clouds could press down from the sky at any moment.

The sun was already obscured by dark clouds.

Each bolt of lightning ripped through the sky like a dagger tearing through the night.

"Boom!"

Another thunderclap resounded through the sky.

In Huai Shu Village, the closest village to Gan Yue Bo, the women hurriedly gathered up their clothes, while the men herded their chickens and ducks back to their pens.

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

The baby was frightened by the thunder and hid in its mother's arms, crying.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's alright, it's alright."

The young mother comforted her child, holding him tightly in her arms, and looked up through the window towards Gan Yuebo.

The sky was clear and bright just a short while ago, so why is there thunder all of a sudden?

Before long, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

"Village chief, the sky was fine just now, why is it raining now?"

In the village, a burly man asked his village chief what was going on.

He had originally planned to catch a couple of fish in the river, but now it seems he'll have to postpone it.

The village chief stroked his graying beard, gazed at the dark clouds over Gan Yue Po, and said earnestly, "Judging from this, it seems a snake is about to cross the river."

"Going to the river?" The burly man was startled. "Going to the river means heavy rain, and heavy rain means a major flood. Should we tell the villagers to take shelter?"

"No need," the village chief shook his head. "The Prime Minister Xiao built some irrigation canals and dredged some waterways here before, so the water in Gan Yue Po won't overflow."

“That’s right, I’ve seen snakes walking along the river when I was a kid,” the village chief said, leaning on his cane. “Why does it feel like this snake’s tribulation is a bit different? The commotion is a bit too much.”

Ganzhou Moon God Sect.

The Moon Goddess Sect is an old sect in Ganzhou, located 700 miles away from Ganyuebo. Its sect leader is a great cultivator at the Jade Purity Realm.

On this day, Master Ye of the Moon Goddess Sect was sitting in the courtyard, contemplating his inner self.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Master Ye abruptly opened his eyes.

The next moment, the courtyard was empty. Master Ye stood on the peak of the Moon God Sect, his spiritual power concentrated in his eyes, gazing at the thick dark clouds seven hundred miles away.

"Sect Master, there are snake clan members undergoing tribulation in the direction of Gan Yue Bo."

Before half a cup of tea had been brewed, five elders arrived beside Master Ye. One of them, an elder named Long Biao, spoke.

Elder Wuxi stepped forward, frowning, and said, "Ordinary snake clans shouldn't have such a big commotion when they first enter the river. This snake clan has just started crossing the river, and the tribulation of lightning has already been drawn but not triggered. It's truly rare."

Another elder spoke up, saying, "This python definitely has signs of ancestral reversion; its entire body is a treasure."

"Sect Master is currently at the peak of Jade Unearth Realm and is about to break through to the Immortal Realm. This snake's demon core can definitely help Sect Master!" another one-eyed elder said excitedly.

Others nodded.

If the sect leader were to reach the Immortal Realm, it would be extremely beneficial to the development of the Moon Goddess Sect.

A sect with a Celestial Realm expert in charge is guaranteed peace of mind for at least ten thousand years!

"Hehehe."

Master Ye smiled.

"The snake clan transforms into dragons as they travel across rivers, seizing the very essence of heaven and earth. Wherever they go, they will inevitably cause floods and disasters. Our actions are also acting on behalf of heaven."

But there's no rush now.

This snake has just crossed the river and is at the peak of its strength. It would be better to send some arrogant rogue cultivators to their deaths first, to weaken its strength, and then we can make our move.

Furthermore, once the snake reaches a river, its bloodline gradually purifies, and its demon core transforms into a dragon core, making it the most precious.

"You should all prepare yourselves well, for the blood and flesh of this snake will nourish you in due time."

"It's the sect master!"

The summit of Qingfeng Mountain.

It is only fifty li away from Ganyuebo.

Two women dressed in Taoist robes stood on the mountaintop, gazing in one direction.

"Master." Li Sisi raised her head, looked at her master beside her, and asked worriedly, "Can Miss Bai really travel across the river and into the sea smoothly?"

"smoothly?"

The whisk slowly shook its head.

"If things had gone smoothly, so many demon cultivators wouldn't have perished. Not to mention that Ru Xue has just entered the cave and already caused such a strange phenomenon. Do you think those sects wouldn't have noticed?"

Li Sisi: "."

Fuchen continued, "In their words, the snake clan's journey across the river to undergo tribulation is a usurpation of the creation of heaven and earth, which will cause immense suffering to the people along the way."

Actually, that's a bit of an exaggeration.

Which of the snakes that can traverse rivers is a fool?

The river crossings they chose must have been thoroughly investigated several times, in an effort to minimize the impact on ordinary people and avoid attracting more karma that could affect their own tribulations.

Therefore, snakes only roam the river if they are evil-hearted individuals.

Otherwise, most snakes would only cause financial losses if they traveled along the river, and would hardly harm anyone.

Moreover, everything has two sides.

After the snake clan leaves the river, another rain of dragon fortune will fall. Ten years later, wherever they pass, the weather will be favorable, the rice fields will be fragrant, and outstanding people will emerge.

Those monks kept saying they wanted to rid the people of harm.

Actually.

Do they ever care about ordinary people?

That's just their excuse.

They don't care about ordinary people; they only care about their own gains and losses.

“But Master, although Miss Bai’s journey across the river is difficult, isn’t Mr. Xiao’s preparation over the years all for this one day?” Hearing her master say this, Li Sisi became even more nervous.

"yes."

The whisk looked in one direction.

"For forty-eight years, everything he did was not only for the people of the world, but also for her."

So, Xiao Mo.

You believe that you are dead, and that time will eventually allow her to let go.

But can she really let go?

In Huai Shu Village, the rain is getting heavier.

The adults who were working and the children who were playing in the fields all rushed home to take shelter from the rain.

At the village entrance, an old man sitting on a stone stood up.

He dusted himself off, used his teleportation ability to shrink the distance between people, and with one step, he vanished from his spot in an instant.

A child stared at the empty stone, blinking his big, curious eyes.

Where is that old man? How did he suddenly disappear?

At the same time, many cultivators sensed the soaring demonic aura and terrifying lightning tribulation emanating from Gan Yuebo, realizing it was the snake clan undergoing tribulation. They all came to hunt, hoping to seize the opportunity.

Most of these cultivators are independent practitioners.

The most prominent characteristics of rogue cultivators are their fearlessness, ruthlessness, and greed.

Now that they have such an opportunity, even if they know there is danger, even if they know that this snake might be targeted by other sects.

But they just can't control their inner greed.

What if?

What if I were to hunt down and kill the snake clan that walks the dragon?

Therefore, many independent cultivators gathered together to hunt down this giant river snake.

Just when a group of twenty independent cultivators was only ten miles away from Gan Yue Bo.

An elderly man dressed in a blue robe blocked their way.

Chapter 73: Ordinary people whose lifespan is no more than a hundred years!

These twenty-odd independent cultivators were originally searching for opportunities in a nearby ruin.

But as soon as they came out of the cave, they sensed a surge of demonic energy.

They looked towards the place where thunderclouds were dense, and unexpectedly, there were snakes undergoing tribulation there.

Moreover, the fact that the snake had just undergone tribulation and yet caused such a celestial phenomenon indicates that it possesses extraordinary talent and may even exhibit signs of ancestral regression.

Rogue cultivators are used to living on the edge.

Even though they knew the python was very strong, they still had to give it a try!

After all, every part of the snake undergoing tribulation is a treasure!

If we wait any longer and others notice, this python might no longer be ours.

So they decided to go hunting the python together, kill it, and then divide the spoils equally among themselves.

However, to their surprise...

Before he even reached the lake, an old man blocked his way.

"Is there anything I can help you with, sir?"

A rogue cultivator named Guo Xiudan, who was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Xiao Mo.

Guo Xiudan sized up the old man.

He did not sense the flow of spiritual energy within the other party's body; in comparison, he sensed a rich aura of mountains and rivers.

“This is an official from the State of Qi, and his rank is not low.”
