Volume 2: World of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio Chapter 62: Honghe Village

Along the way, Jiale's demon-eliminating skills became smoother and faster.
There are also many demons in Longhu Mountain, but in terms of time, it is only half of the time it took to eliminate the demons in Kunlun Mountain. Looking at Jiale's skillful way of eliminating demons, Zhang Tianshi couldn't help but sigh.
"If you could be born in that era, you wouldn't have to worry about the so-called demonic troubles."
Looking at Master Zhang who seemed to be feeling pity for the world, Jia Le also smiled, "Every generation has its own talents. Master, each generation has its own mission. How can we control the destiny and opportunities of heaven?"
Zhang Tianshi was also startled when he heard this, as if he had not expected Jiale to be so clear-headed. He was also somewhat surprised at Jiale's calmness. If it were any other young generation, they would be so proud of themselves that they would be extremely arrogant.
Think about Maoshan. Originally, Kunlun Mountain, Longhu Mountain and Maoshan were ranked on the same level, but Maoshan was unlucky. It suffered heavy losses in an incident a thousand years ago. In Zhang Tianshi's view, Maoshan was already at the bottom of the three mountains. But now, it seems that Maoshan is on the rise. After the emergence of Jiale, it even seems to be the leader.
In the main hall of Longhu Mountain.
The three gods of Jizhou sat opposite Jiale. After looking at each other, it was the City God who spoke first.
"Master Nengchun, we are from the same spiritual family. There may have been some misunderstandings between us before. Today, we took the initiative to meet you. I believe you can guess our purpose. I wonder if you can point out a clear path for us?"
As if out of consideration for Zhang Tianshi's face, or perhaps because they were truly convinced by Jiale, the three gods of Jizhou lowered their posture to the lowest level.
Jiale nodded upon hearing this.
“I know a thing or two about the affairs of the gods and spirits, and I will try to explain it to you. If you three think it is not right, you can interrupt me.
After the demonic disaster, the two worlds of heaven and earth were separated from the human world, and both the Yin gods and the heavenly gods were no longer under the control of the heavenly court and the underworld. However, if the gods want to be promoted, they cannot do without the conferment of the heavenly court and the underworld. In other words, the future of the gods in Jiuzhou is now hopeless!"
The faces of the three great gods of Jizhou changed when they heard this. They did not expect Jiale to see through everything so clearly. The bad premonition in their hearts became stronger and stronger. How could they negotiate terms later when all their secrets were exposed?
"However, becoming stronger is an unchanging truth, and you will definitely not be willing to stagnate here, so you can only think of other ways.
The three paths of heaven, earth and man, you have no other choice now, and can only choose the path of humanity. It's just that the King of Chu rose too fast, and the King of Chu happens to be my cousin, so I had a hand in it. No matter how you want to talk today, I must make it clear to you first that the King of Chu will become the Emperor of Mankind, and the human race will not be enslaved by anyone. This is unchangeable.
If you have any ideas, there will naturally be a place for your kind of gods under the Human Emperor, but the New Dynasty has its own laws, and you will be no exception."
Human Emperor!
The Jizhou god stood up suddenly. There was no need to say anything else. The words "Human Emperor" alone were enough to reveal a lot.
There were three emperors in the human race, but that was a long time ago. It has been so long ago that they can hardly remember when it was. But when they think about the current situation carefully, the heaven and earth no longer exist, and humanity is on the rise. It seems that it is really a good time for the Human Emperor to be born. The three gods suddenly looked at Jiale with a complicated look in their eyes.
To create a human emperor, no one with no mental problems would dare to think about this problem, but Jiale thought about it, did it, and almost accomplished it.
Since he is the Human Emperor, he must naturally stand above all races, and all gods and immortals must bow down to him.
You know, during the period of the Three Emperors of the human race, the status of the Human Emperor was higher than that of the Jade Emperor.
"Master Nengchun, where should we go from here?"
Stopping the Human Emperor from rising to power and going against the trend of humanity, the Jizhou gods dared not even think about it. Now that the King of Chu has already gained power, there is no need to think too much. Under the protection of humanity, one can imagine how stable the King of Chu's position is. Supporting other kings to compete with him is just a stepping stone and will never succeed. As for the plan they had thought of before, it has already failed. After being seen through by Jiale, the King of Chu has made plans step by step. Now those talents either don't recognize them or are dead.
They couldn't kill Jia Le, and they couldn't kill the King of Chu, so what else could they do? They could only admit defeat. But if they thought about it carefully, working for the King of Humanity was somewhat degrading, but working for the Human Emperor did not seem unacceptable. After all, the Human Emperor could at least be compared to the Jade Emperor, and his status was no worse than their previous ones. Of course, at this moment, they could only comfort themselves in this way.
"The gods will continue to do what they are supposed to do, and the rest will have their own laws and rules."
The three Jizhou gods looked at each other and sighed suddenly. No matter whether they were the city god, mountain god or land god, they all had strict duties. But even when the heaven and earth were still there, they would not be content with their own duties and would extend their authority everywhere. What's more, when the heaven and earth are no longer there, the power in their hands has already expanded several times more than before.
It is not easy to give up such great power and so many benefits all at once.
"this!"
Seeing the three gods wanting to say something, Jia Le waved his hand to stop them. "I am only pointing out a clear path for you. My words are the words of the King of Chu. If you can be used, it would be the best, after all, you are familiar with the way. If you can't be used, you can just re-enfeoff. There is no need to say more. I am also a human, and I will not help you at the expense of the interests of the human race just because you say a few more words. You can think about how to choose. Farewell."
After watching Jiale leave, the three Jizhou gods looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally smiled bitterly, "Call other fellows to discuss it together."
Wansheng's speed is not slow. Now he has pushed to the border of Youzhou. The entire Jizhou has been incorporated into the territory of the King of Chu.
On the border of Youzhou, the Tang general Shangguan Yuanfan led an army of 500,000 to the border, facing Wansheng from a distance.
The King of Chu is mobilizing the strength of six states to attack Youzhou, and a million troops are only one-tenth or twelve percent of the army. But Youzhou cannot do that. Youzhou has a total of more than one million troops, and most of them have to be kept to resist the Yinyue Dynasty. Now it is very rare that Shangguan Yuanfan can gather 500,000 troops here.
Looking at Wansheng from afar, Shangguan Yuanfan felt a little bitter.
With the rise of King Chu, the two generals around him, one civil and one military, have become famous throughout the nine provinces. The civil one is Zhuge Liang, who is able to plan and win battles thousands of miles away. He is meticulous in his plans and never makes any mistakes in government affairs. The military one is naturally Wan Sheng, the great general under the King of Chu, who has never been defeated since he conquered the nine provinces.
Shangguan Yuanfan is also a conceited person. Facing the attack of Yinyue Dynasty, he has always been at the forefront. Even the fierce Yinyue Dynasty could not get the upper hand from him. His strength has reached the peak level of Grandmaster. He believes that no other general in Jiuzhou can compare to him. However, after seeing Wansheng today, Shangguan Yuanfan realized that he had underestimated the heroes of the world.
The moment he saw Wansheng, he knew that he was no match for Wansheng. A celestial being! Or even higher. He could never have imagined that there was someone in Jiuzhou who could practice martial arts to such an extent. If it weren't for the wrong camp, he would have wanted to ask Wansheng for advice.
Looking at the quality of the two armies, he originally thought that the army he led had been fighting with the Yinyue Dynasty for many years, and should be more elite than the army under Wansheng. But now it seems that they are at best equal, with a two to one ratio of troop strength. For the first time, Shangguan Yuanfan felt a little lack of confidence.
"General, the girl has woken up."
The voice came from behind, and Shangguan Yuanfan withdrew his thoughts and walked towards the big tent. During the march, a seriously injured woman fell on the side of the road. Shangguan Yuanfan took her into the army after a moment of hesitation. The Shangguan family was a military family in Youzhou. Shangguan Yuanfan was able to become a general because of his own ability and the influence of his family.
Although he is not young, Shangguan Yuanfan is still unmarried. It was not until he saw the woman on the roadside that his heart was moved for the first time. She was so beautiful. Both her appearance and temperament touched Shangguan Yuanfan's heart. Moreover, the woman's injuries were quite serious. If she was not treated, she might not last long.
Therefore, Shangguan Yuanfan used his privilege for the first time to keep the woman in the army.
Now that he heard that the woman had woken up, he put aside all his worries and walked towards the woman's tent.
"You saved me?"
Mei Ji looked at Shangguan Yuanfan who entered the big tent and asked in a crisp voice, feeling a little emotional in her heart. She knew Shangguan Yuanfan, who led the Tang army to resist the Yinyue Dynasty and had a great reputation. Mei Ji had also seen him, but Shangguan Yuanfan had never seen her. In fact, they were on the same enemy side, so she didn't want to be saved by Shangguan Yuanfan.
This time entering Youzhou was arranged by the eldest sister Yin Yue. Her injuries were tortured by the curse and could not be recovered. But now the situation has changed, and Yin Yue is a little anxious, so she asked Mei Ji to come out to find the Nine-Turn Magic Pearl, in an attempt to get rid of the curse and recover from her injuries.
However, she had just entered Youzhou not long ago when she was targeted by golden light.
Her strength is only equivalent to the late stage of Hedao realm. It's not a good thing for her to be targeted by golden light. If she didn't have some tricks, she would have died by now.
Thinking of this, Mei Ji felt a deep hatred. She wished she could kill all the people from Xuanxin Sect right now. They said they were a famous and righteous sect, but in order to fight her, they had to join forces with the Four Generals of Xuanxin. It was simply despicable and shameless.
"The girl finally woke up. I am Shangguan Yuanfan. The army is simple and a war is about to begin. This is not a place to stay for long. After the military doctor examines her, I will arrange for someone to send the girl back to the capital."
In fact, Shangguan Yuanfan was also a little surprised. Mei Ji's injuries at that time were extremely serious. The military doctor said it depended on luck. Now, it has only been a few days, and her vitality seems to be good. With Wansheng supporting her in front, Shangguan Yuanfan did not think much about it. He just thought that the outcome was unpredictable. He did not want the girl to suffer, so he wanted to send her back to the capital.
Upon hearing this, Mei Ji couldn't help but look at Shangguan Yuanfan, and her heart was actually a little moved.
Thinking of the Blue Demon Zhaza she had seen in the Demon Palace, it seemed as if something was taking root and growing in her heart. Earlier, when the three sisters were together, the eldest sister still cared about them very much. But as time went by, the eldest sister became the Queen of the Demon Palace, and she gradually changed. After the death of the Six Paths Demon Lord, the eldest sister's temperament changed drastically.
Mei Ji hadn't been cared for by anyone for a long time. When she saw Lan Mo Xiao Zha, she was actually very envious. Even though her third sister had died, Mei Ji was still a little envious. Now, she actually felt the care of others in this big tent. For some reason, at this moment, Mei Ji's heart was particularly peaceful.
"Can I stay here?"
Shangguan Yuanfan was a little surprised when he heard Meiji's words. "This place will soon become a battlefield. It's very dangerous."
"I don't care!"
Shangguan Yuanfan's heart was shaken. These four simple words struck his soul directly and made him nod his head for some unknown reason.
The capital of Tang State.
King Tang sat opposite Jin Guang, the leader of Xuanxin Sect.
"The King of Chu is coming, and a million troops have already stationed at the border. Shangguan Yuanfan sent me news that the situation is not optimistic. I wonder what the leader of the Jinguang Sect is going to teach me."
Jin Guang was actually very troubled. In Youzhou, Xuanxin Sect had an absolute status, and he was the guest of honor of King Tang. Although he was the national teacher, in many things, his words might be more useful than King Tang's. Jin Guang enjoyed this feeling very much. However, King Chu was coming. Although King Chu's rise was short, how could Jin Guang not know his information?
He knew that if the King of Chu took over Youzhou, he would definitely not obey him like the King of Tang did. He could forget about having too many privileges under the King of Chu. This was something he absolutely did not want to see.
To deal with Yin Yue and the Demon Palace, the Tang army is needed as minions. However, the King of Chu is not the King of Tang. Even if Jin Guang is confident that he is quite powerful, it will still be a bit tricky.
Ordinary people may not know the details of King Chu, but in the world of cultivation, who doesn't know that behind King Chu stands Neng Chun, the master of the Yin-Yang vein of Maoshan who is now famous in the world of cultivation. He just killed the Black Mountain Old Monster and released a True Immortal Sword. Now it is said that he has the means to eliminate demons. All the way north, all the major immortal gates treat him as a guest of honor and ask him to eliminate demons.
Facing such a true god, Jin Guang was also very powerful. It was a blow from a true immortal. Even if Jin Guang was so conceited, he did not think that he could be stronger than Jia Le.
The mysterious secret of the heart!
Jin Guang seemed to have made up his mind. The foundation of the Xuanxin Sect was actually a fairy technique, which was the so-called Xuanxin Mysterious Technique. This technique was definitely one of the top fairy techniques in the cultivation world. If he could practice it, Jin Guang believed that he would be much stronger than he is now. However, not everyone can practice the Xuanxin Mysterious Technique.
This is true even if Jin Guang is the leader of the Xuanxin Sect.
Thinking of this, Jin Guang felt a little aggrieved. He was the leader of the Xuanxin Sect, but now he couldn't even practice a single immortal technique. There were two old ancestors in the Xuanxin Sect. Jin Guang could be in charge of all matters of the Xuanxin Sect, but the Xuanxin Mysterious Technique was not something he could decide on. Every generation of practitioners was appointed by these two ancestors.
It’s not that these two ancestors don’t like the golden light, but the Mysterious Heart Secret Technique has a fatal flaw. If one does not have great love in one’s heart, practicing this technique will only lead to obsession.
The Mysterious Heart Secret Art seemed to be specially prepared for seven-lifetime lovers. In the past, every generation of practitioners were basically seven-lifetime lovers. In this generation as well, the two ancestors had already designated Yan Chixia's daughter, Yan Hongye, to practice. Jin Guang was actually very angry about this, but he could do nothing about it.
The Xuanxin Sect was born to eliminate demons and has too many rules and regulations. Just think about how Yan Chixia, as the leader of the Xuanxin Sect, could capture people at will, and you can understand how complicated it is.
But this is the only way for Jin Guang to become stronger. Jin Guang is confident in his talent and can ignore the conditions for practicing the Mysterious Heart Secret Technique.
Thinking in his heart, Jin Guang has decided to no longer pay attention to the words of the two ancestors. He forces himself to practice the Mysterious Heart Secret Technique. He practices for the purpose of eliminating demons, and he has a clear conscience.
"Tang is not Zhao. With General Shangguan's ability, it won't be easy for the King of Chu to invade Youzhou. The King of Tang should just rest assured."
Jin Guang already knew at this time that Yin Yue hurried from the Yin Yue Imperial Court to Heishan because of Jia Le. With Jia Le's strength, Jin Guang was really unsure. Now he could only stall King Tang and stabilize his emotions, and think about other things later.
Demonic palace.
"Queen Mother, that Maoshan Nengchun has already left Longhu Mountain. I'm afraid it won't be long before he can enter Youzhou. He has been killing demons along the way. This time, I'm afraid he intends to target us."
Like Jin Guang, the Demon Palace also found out that Jia Le was the mastermind behind Black Mountain, and Jia Le even destroyed the body of the Demon Lord. Now he is heading north from Liangzhou to wipe out all the demons in Liangzhou and Jizhou. Judging from his route, it won't be long before he enters Youzhou.
Everyone in the Yinyue Dynasty is half-demons, and no one is sure what Jiale’s attitude towards the Demon Palace is?
Will the Demon Palace be destroyed like the demon clan? It has to be said that Jiale eliminated the Black Mountain Old Demon, destroyed the body of the Demon Lord, and exterminated all the demons. This put a lot of pressure on the Demon Palace, especially for Yin Yue. The entire Demon Palace is half-demon, but she is not. She is really possessed by the Moon Demon. Jiale was able to destroy the body of the Demon Lord. Although no one knows what means Jiale used, the pressure is really not small.
"Tell the Earth Dragon spies to closely monitor the news about Neng Chun. There must be no omissions and they must report back at any time."
Jiale had no idea that he had already touched the hearts of so many people before he even entered Youzhou.
"Attack."
Wansheng had been waiting for Jiale, and now after hearing what Jiale said, he could no longer hold back.
"attack!"
A million troops were mobilized together. This was the first time Jiale had seen such a scene of two armies confronting each other.
Shangguan Feifan looked at the attacking Chu army with a solemn expression, but generals have died in hundreds of battles, and on the battlefield, there is only advancement and no retreat. As a great general of the Tang State, he had no way to retreat.
"kill!"
Five hundred thousand against a million, and there is no advantage of the city. It's not that Shangguan Feifan doesn't want to rely on the power of the city to resist the enemy, but Wansheng is too abnormal. In Jizhou, he can break a city with one attack. Defending the city certainly has the advantage of geographical location, but if the city becomes a decoration, it will hurt the morale. So when facing Wansheng, they can only give up the city and fight on the plain.
Wansheng took the lead and was unstoppable. He soon reached Shangguan Feifan.
Feeling Wansheng's momentum, Shangguan Feifan actually had the urge to abandon his soldiers and run away. Shangguan Feifan's guards wanted to protect Shangguan Feifan, but facing Wansheng, they were no match at all. It was probably like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Shangguan Feifan's forehead was covered with sweat. It was getting closer and closer. Shangguan Feifan had been fighting for half his life, but it was the first time that he felt death was so close to him.
In the back, Mei Ji saw Wan Sheng slashing at Shangguan Feifan with a knife, and finally she couldn't bear it any longer.
He stretched out his hand and a spider silk came out, wrapping Shangguan Feifan and trying to pull him to his side.
Mute mute mute!
At this moment, a crow's cry sounded in the sky, and rays of yang fire poured down. Mei Ji was even more shocked when she saw this scene, and hurried over to meet them. The appearance of seven fire crows was beyond her expectation. If Shangguan Feifan was attacked by seven fire crows in the late stage of the Demon Lord Realm, even if he had nine lives, it would not be enough to kill him.
It was obvious that it was because she interfered in the war that attracted the Fire Crow. She meant well but ended up with bad results. There was no way Mei Ji would retreat.
She stood straight in front of Shangguan Feifan and protected him tightly behind him. Shangguan Feifan looked at Mei Ji in front of him and felt a little dazed. Mei Ji was so powerful, but, this was a monster!
Shangguan Feifan was not blind. After seeing Mei Ji's methods, he had some guesses and felt complicated, as if he had thought of something. Xuanxin Sect had just issued a search warrant to find Mei Ji, the demon lord of the Demon Palace. Now, looking at the spider spirit in front of him, how could Shangguan Feifan not guess what was going on? It was just that Mei Ji was willing to drag her seriously injured body to fight against the fire crows in the sky for him.
This made Shangguan Feifan not know how to respond for a moment.
"ah!"
However, a burst of screams of pain soon woke Shangguan Feifan up. Mei Ji was seriously injured after all. How could she be their opponent facing seven fire crows? She was beaten to the point of vomiting blood again, which was even worse than last time.
"No!"
What he saw was that most of the 500,000-strong army had already fallen. Shangguan Feifan was heartbroken, but he had to make that difficult decision.
"Stop, I surrender."
Wansheng's sword stopped in front of Shangguan Feifan's face. With Shangguan Feifan's surrender, the Tang army was defeated and had no strength to resist, so they surrendered one after another.
The great battle was over in less than half a day.
“Tied him up!”
Wansheng glanced at Shangguan Feifan and Mei Ji on the ground without saying much. He just ordered his men to tie them up and capture the 500,000 Tang troops. Behind them was the vast land of Youzhou. Now was not the time to surrender.
Honghe Village.
This is Youzhou, which is adjacent to the Yinyue Dynasty. Jiale followed Yan Chixia, Zhuge Liuyun and Yan Hongye and slowly walked into Honghe Village.
"Brother Sun, I have already informed Sanniang. She is very happy to hear that Let's go quickly."
Yan Chixia was obviously missing his wife as well. He was very excited after entering Youzhou. Jiale shook his head helplessly and followed Yan Chixia towards the village.
"Sanniang!"
"Damn old man!"
