Chapter 40 Belly of the Beas
“It"s not a rebellion, it"s a restoration of a country.” Chen-Jianfeng flicked his fan and said: “We"re perfectly willing to support you, and a prince-hood is solidly impossible to throw away after it"s done.”
“The Prince-hood?” Gu-Chensha looked oddly pale and said: “Then who is the Emperor?”
“Naturally, our Crown Prince, Chen-Tianhuang, who left with the Imperial Master back then and painstakingly cultivated his mastery, has now achieved great success, and will naturally seek justice from the Skyseal Emperor when he leaves the gate.” Chen-Jianfeng"s face was slightly murderous and said, “I know you have had a hard time, you have been discriminated against in the palace for years, you are not even as good as a rich man, now you have a great opportunity to make a name for yourself, this is the only way you can go, if you don"t cooperate with us, you won"t be able to survive this pa.s.s right now, that Luo Baiyue deliberately set you up, don"t you know that?“
“But if the kingdom is restored, and the world rises again with swords, and lives are lost, what do you think?” Gu-Chensha inquired.
“The people of the world are leeks, cutting one crop after another, isn"t that how it has been for generations? You can"t be so foolish, are you the prince or the loser.” Chen-Jianfeng"s tone, however, is so high and mighty that he doesn"t treat the people as people at all.
“The Xian Dynasty ruled the country far worse than the Great Skyseal Emperor back then, or else it wouldn"t have been destroyed.” Gu-Chensha thought to himself and said: “If this person has such a thought, he is by no means a blessing to the people of the world, not to mention that it is impossible for them to take over the world, and even if they could, they would be enslaving the people and setting the country back.”
“What? You wouldn"t?” Chen-Jianfeng"s eyes were cold, staring at Gu-Chensha dead in the face.
“Things are also negotiable, but you want to make me do such great things with just one word? It"s a bit of a joke, isn"t it? Won"t you show some sincerity?” Gu-Chensha heard that the man had ill intentions, but he was too lazy to turn the other cheek, and he said with a false sense of humility first and said: “Right now Luo Baiyue is sitting near Banan province with her troops, the Third Prince Gu-Fansha is even more powerful, and a little farther away on the edge of Xianzhou there is even the Marquis of Jushi ready to come and support me, I have no soldiers or generals in my hands, I am alone, and if I say I will rebel, I can defeat and take Xianzhou?”
“That doesn"t matter, it"s not hard to get soldiers and manpower, and I can always support you with a few thousand experts. Also, you say you have no soldiers or generals, but that"s not necessarily true, I don"t believe you can kill the Black Fiend Bat with your strength, that expert by your side is not simple.” Chen-Jianfeng took a few steps forward and said: “Promise or no promise, that"s the word, time is running out, if you miss it, you"ll be dead in a few days.”
“I"ll have to think about it for two days, and I have to plan for such things.” Gu-Chensha secretly checked around to see if there was any danger, then began to stall for time.
“Okay, I"ll give you two days, after two days, we"ll meet here again, I hope you"ll give me an answer.” Chen-Jianfeng crosses his hand in a gesture of invitation.
Gu-Chensha"s legs catapulted backward, and he had disappeared after a few landings.
“Master, I think this person is just playing sloppy with us, there is no way he would betray that old thief the Skyseal Emperor, he was recently made a duke, opened a government and built teeth, so why would he follow us to restore the country?” A subordinate came up and said in a deep voice and said: “Why don"t you take him down? Draw his blood and infuse it into you"re your Highness, and then your highness will be able to communicate with the Giant Spirit G.o.d, and if you can be recognized by the Giant Spirit G.o.d Oracle, then you will be the Emperor of the Kingdom, and even the Crown Prince will have to bow down to you.”
“You think I don"t want to take this guy down?” Chen-Jianfeng smirked and said: “But he is not a simple character, he can kill the Black Fiend Bat, and the experts around him will kill me at any time, so I give him two days. By then he will come begging for me, the barbarians and cultists attack he absolutely cannot resist, the Great Yong Imperial court"s bright and dark battle will surely push him into a desperate situation.”
Between words, these three retreated into the woods.
Gu-Chensha left the area and did not return to the province, but opened the map on a hill outside the city.
It"s a map of Banan Province.
There are dozens of prefectures in Banan Province, as well as five provinces, all of which are clearly marked on the map, with all sorts of major roads, minor roads, mountains, waterways, forests, lakes, and even villages annotated in detail.
Right now, three counties and the large surrounding countryside, towns, and mountain forest areas are all circled in red. They are Taoxian County, Ann County, and Tea County.
These three places have completely fallen, and the county cities have become the altars of the cult. Every day, countless people are sacrificed or become cult followers to attack other counties and plunder other cities and villages.
“The cult attack is imminent, Banan Governor can"t be relied upon, and that army isn"t enough for the best to stuff their teeth.” Gu-Chensha has his own plan and said: “Right now, the only way is to go deep into the tiger"s lair, try to a.s.sa.s.sinate the cult experts and disrupt their plans, maybe it will delay some time, if it"s someone else who can"t, but I have the Sacrificial Skyseal Edict s.p.a.ce, I can enter it when I encounter danger with the slightest movement of my mind, that would be truly divine.”
He has no soldiers and no trustworthy people, and he has enemies on all sides.
Besides, his main purpose is to train his Martial Dao, if he can kill the best of the cultists, he can not only save the people from suffering, but also offer sacrifices to the heavens to obtain the Heavenly Dew, as well as alleviate the current situation.
If he hadn"t learned “the Sun Moon Kill”. Before, this plan may not have been feasible for him, but now it has 8.9 points of hope.
“If I can borrow the Dragon Bone Sword, I"ll hide in the altar s.p.a.ce and wait for the cultist to pa.s.s by and suddenly a.s.sa.s.sinate, that power the Black Fiend Bat can"t even resist, even Long Yuyun may not borrow it, I should have just brought Luo Baiyue"s Fireless Sword.” Gu-Chensha put away the map and body flew away and said: “I"d rather not, Luo Baiyue has a deep heart, if I take her sword, I"m afraid I"ll be suspicious, and that one is made by Imperial Father, if it has a spirit on it and senses the Sacrificial Skyseal Edict then it"s not good.”
Whoosh!
Gu-Chensha pondered in his mind, but his steps were not slow, and he followed the map to the three counties in turmoil.
Although it is night, the surroundings are dark and heavy, and there is no bright moon in the sky, but his eyes can see clearly any tiny object several miles away, two or three hours pa.s.sed, the sky is slightly bright, he avoided the Imperial court army stationed in the place, and took a small road, so forward hundreds of miles, and then close to Taoxian County.
Along the way all kinds of prosperous villages and towns are deserted, all kinds of houses have been burned down, even the trees have scorch marks, it"s really a village fire, and the trees are wolf smoke.
Many villages have charred corpses on the ground, the elderly, women, children, and some have even been disemboweled.
Gu-Chensha was the first to see such a tragic situation and was so furious that he wanted to immediately behead the various cult leaders and barbarians.
“Eh? There was shouting in the distance.” He had a keen ear, and, hearing the noise, immediately exerted himself, and leaped up on the top of a large tree on a high hill, and by the morning light, with an extremely far-seeing eye, discovered that a town had been built with high walls in the distance, and that the civilians in the town were resisting the attacks of the cultists.
The cultists, dressed in black robes, wrapped themselves tightly, each carrying a long knife, swarmed the town, trying to break it down.
The cultists, using the three counties as their base, did this everywhere, attacking many villages, capturing people and bringing them among the cult altars, killing the sacrifices, or brainwashing some into becoming cultists.
This s...o...b..ll development is extremely terrifying, and in the past the Imperial court would send an army and experts to annihilate it at the first opportunity.
The town in the distance was quite rich and populous, people inside the surrounding ten miles and eight miles of villages also came to the town for refuge, and under the leadership of the governor, forming a defense system was actually still effective, and the town had quite a few experts, parading on the walls and slashing cultists, in addition to archers, crossbows, and even a few earth cannons.
Steeply, a long whistle came from the cultists" camp.
“No good, a Martial Grandmaster.” Gu-Chensha knew immediately that there were experts among the cultists, and if the Martial Grandmaster made a move, leapt onto the walls, and killed the strong leaders inside those towns, the entire town of ten thousand people would collapse and be reduced to cultist pigs and dogs and cattle to be slaughtered.
“The Sun Moon"s Touring the World.” His bodywork is pushed, and the man is so fast that he is only a shadow, rapidly approaching the cultist army.
“Someone"s coming, stop him.” Just as he was about to approach, a leader among the cults noticed something unusual, waved a flag in his hand, and immediately a large group of cultists swarmed over.
“Raining Sky.” Gu-Chensha kicked up rocks, crumpled them into dozens in his hands, and shook his hands to hit them. Those stones whistling from the sky whistled, fast as lightning, directly knocking dozens of cultists unconscious on the ground, this is a dark weapon technique, recorded in the Giant Spirit G.o.d Kung Fu, best suited for group combat.
Although he sprinkled dozens of stones, each one was extremely accurate and precise. He didn"t kill anyone, the stones didn"t hit the vital parts of the body, but merely shocked the cultists into unconsciousness, and when they woke up, they were too weak and numb to kill or harm anyone for several months.
Most of these cultists are civilians who were forced and compelled to kill their heads, they naturally crumbled and woke up, so there was no need to drive them all to extinction.
He was extremely fast and soon rushed into the cultist army, approaching the position of the leader.
These cultists are the people in the end, although they are all fearless, but not as well-trained as the army, if it is the Great Yong Dynasty’s elite division, the layers of shield formation, lance forest, sword formation, bow and crossbow, and even fire. It"s impossible to take the head of a general among all the troops. It"s basically impossible to take the head of a general.
Once when the Great Yong Dynasty army attacked many clans, there was the Dao Realm First Transformation, the Second Transformation"s best experts died in the army, of course, if the Dao Realm arrived! The Third Transformation, Bronze Skin and Iron Bones, that army is much less of a threat, and even the Fire Talisman Guns are hard to damage physically.
This time the Third Prince is afraid of the Barbarian tribe G.o.d Envoy, fixing into the Dao Realm Sixth Transformation, Refine Qi Into Astral", is no longer something ordinary armies can resist.
“Kill!”
The cult leader was standing on a wooden platform, holding a banner in his hand. When he saw that his followers could not stop Gu-Chensha and allowed him to approach quickly, he was furious and grabbed a spear and threw it.
The spear was like a flying snake heading straight for Gu-Chensha"s heart.
“Good timing.” Gu-Chensha leaned down to dodge the spear, and with a slight leap, was on a high platform, five fingers spread wide to capture this leader.
This leader has evil eyes, blood red cruelty, and tattoos on his face, and when he sees Gu-Chensha attacking, he is not afraid in the slightest, and draws his blade backhanded, his blood blade soaring, full of knife shadows.
“Blood Melting Blade!”
The leader had a sword in his hand.
