Chapter 354 From then on, it became a legend.
In the mortal world, it is difficult for ordinary people to see what is happening high in the sky.
The demonic clouds rolled in, blotting out the sky and bringing boundless oppression.
But this time, no one stood up for them to resist the enemy, and no one stood up to protect them and welcome the dawn again.
Numerous puppets fell from the sky and landed in the mortal realm, wantonly capturing innocent mortals.
Two humanoid puppets broke into the Great Xia Imperial Palace, intending to capture the emperor.
Although the Imperial Guards were loyal and swore to protect their master to the death, they were extremely vulnerable in front of that puppet. With just one move, the enemy caused all the Imperial Guards to perish, turning into cold corpses lying on the ground.
The emperor, witnessing this scene, was filled with fear, but he still managed to remain calm.
Resistance at this moment would only bring more sacrifices, so he resolutely walked out of the palace, letting the puppet take him away, no longer making futile struggles.
Princess Jin'an, however, witnessed everything from the shadows, tears streaming down her face.
She remembered her father's instructions, suppressed her grief, and obediently hid herself. She knew that at this moment, only by surviving could she have any hope.
Chu Lengyu was never arrogant enough to believe she could fight against a plague god and the entire parasitic race. Therefore, she had already informed everyone of the possible outcomes.
The number and methods of the enemy are unknown. If Chu Lengyu is defeated, the Great Xia world may very well fall into the hands of the demon race.
So she only had one request: live on and wait for her return.
In recent times, the emperor has even intentionally allowed the development of the belief in the god of plague.
One of the common methods used by parasitic tribes to manage "ranches" is to support local beliefs and have others do the work for them.
Rather than letting the enemy support an unfamiliar organization, it's better to facilitate it yourself in advance to reduce passivity.
Therefore, Chu Lengyu erased some of the emperor's and others' memories to ensure that they would not expose their weaknesses when facing the parasitic race due to certain fragments of their memories.
She hoped that all these efforts could bring a glimmer of hope to the Great Xia world.
Although Chu Lengyu took the Immortal Capital Cave with her, none of the people she knew left with her.
Outside the Xuanzhen Temple, Lin Jiuxiao stroked his beard and sighed, gazing into the distance with a deep look in his eyes. He asked his disciple beside him, "I am old and have long since disregarded life and death. But you, my disciple, why don't you leave with Yu'er to avoid disaster?"
Ji Lingchuan replied calmly, “There are still millions of young people in this world who must face this calamity. I do not want to be the only special one who can remain aloof.”
He didn't think running away was shameful; there was nothing shameful about surviving.
But since he had a choice, he stayed.
Faced with the same question, Yi Xiaoqi answered without hesitation: "I know my own limitations best. Even if Senior Chu is compassionate and willing to take me away, won't she still have to take care of me in the future? I'd better stay here and do my best."
Old Man Meilin smiled wryly, feeling both gratified and worried.
Madam Lan, however, looked encouraging and said firmly, "No matter how bumpy the road ahead may be, this is, after all, our shared world. We should work together to protect it."
As for Chu Lengyu...
Her departure has become a legend.
……
Wanxingmeng Branch.
A massive golden celestial ship slowly drifted through the sea of stars.
Only by stepping inside can you find a whole new world.
The courtyard was deep and secluded, with exotic flowers and rare plants vying for attention, and artificial hills and flowing water complementing each other, creating a vibrant scene, with a refreshing fragrance wafting through the air.
Walking along the corridor, the murals on both sides are lifelike, depicting the glorious history and legendary stories of the Myriad Star Alliance, which inspires awe.
The monks who moved through the corridors were either in a hurry or talking in hushed tones; all of them were dressed in fine clothes and had an extraordinary air about them.
Further inside, you will see a magnificent hall, its interior resplendent with gold and radiant with light.
Inside the main hall, all sorts of treasures and books were displayed, a dazzling array that was hard to look away from.
At this moment, the main hall was bustling with people. Some cultivators were selecting treasures, while others were whispering and discussing transactions.
The entire branch was bustling with activity.
Upstairs, an elderly man was listening to his subordinate's report.
"There's a problem with the Star Locking Network?" The old man waved his hands repeatedly. "My Myriad Star Alliance has been selling this treasure for tens of thousands of years without ever making a mistake. The buyer must have made a mistake."
He remained calm and didn't seem to care about the matter at all.
The subordinate cautiously whispered, "The one who questions this matter is a Mahayana demonic cultivator."
"That's possible. There might indeed be a problem with the Star Locking Network." The old man's expression changed slightly, and he immediately changed his tone.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Go find Master Tang. If I remember correctly, his master is particularly skilled in the art of space, and his own expertise is also quite high."
"Yes." The subordinate accepted the order and turned to find the manager surnamed Tang.
"How could the Star Locking Network make a mistake? Are you trying to extort us? Oh, since it's Senior Mahayana who says there's a mistake, then perhaps there is indeed a mistake." When Master Tang first heard about this, he was also disdainful, but upon hearing the other party's identity, he immediately changed his tune.
He casually reached out and retrieved the list of records from the last auction from the bookshelf.
As he flipped through the pages, he casually remarked, "However, in recent years, the Star Palace has been preoccupied with developing desolate regions and has rarely used things like the Star Locking Network. I wonder what this senior..."
He only got halfway through his sentence before his subordinate realized something was amiss and asked, "Could it be that the lower realm...?"
He raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.
"Forget it, let's not worry about what they're doing. Let's just go through the motions. After all, they're a big client we can't afford to offend." Manager Tang handed the list to the other party.
His subordinates immediately frowned upon seeing this: "A parasite!"
This race is infamous throughout the myriad worlds, and everyone has the right to kill them. Those who dare to reveal their identities are all powerful individuals who are confident in their superior strength and are not afraid of being surrounded.
Speaking of Si Que, she is a rising star among the parasitic clan who has gained fame in the last few hundred years, and her strength should not be underestimated.
However, as a cross-industry business association, Wanxing Alliance has always maintained neutrality, not asking about origins, but only looking at financial resources.
Tang was well aware of this, so he didn't comment much, only shrugging his shoulders slightly to show his helplessness.
He was about to escort goods to another branch, and since the coordinates were barely on the way, he decided to take a look.
I wonder what it was that Lord Sique, who went to such lengths to use the precious Star-Locking Net, was unable to capture or find.
Perhaps there's another surprise in store?
