The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 242 Earthquake
Zhang Tianlu temporarily left his Ten Thousand Souls Banner at Longhu Mountain.

After dealing with the demons and monsters specifically for the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain, the souls of any demons they couldn't handle could be collected within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner for their use.

This can be considered a win-win approach.

After all, this way, Zhang Tianlu wouldn't need to collect those souls anymore.

It would be quite nice to have them kept on Longhu Mountain and cared for by the Taoist priests there.

After this matter was resolved, a system notification sounded in Zhang Tianlu's ear.

"Congratulations, host, for resolving the demon chaos incident. You have received the following rewards: [Twelve Capitals Heavenly Banner - Shebi Corpse Banner], [Twelve Capitals Heavenly Banner - Xuanming Banner], and 5000 million points!"

Two more Dutianqi (a type of weapon) in hand.

Zhang Tianlu put away the refining process.

Including the three Heavenly Banners from before, Zhang Tianlu now has five Heavenly Banners of the Twelve Capitals.

Once I have collected all twelve, I will be able to unleash the true power of the Twelve Capital Banners.

……

Two months later,

Zhang Tianlu has completely refined the two newly acquired Twelve Capital Banners on Fenglei Mountain.

At the same time,
In Yunnan Province, deep in the mountains, lies the city of Panshan.

For the residents of this city, it was just an ordinary day.

But the local weather today seems unusually abnormal.

The sky was extremely hot when I woke up early in the morning.

Moreover, the entire city experiences severe sandstorms.

Panshan City hasn't experienced weather like this for a long time, because it's a mountainous area surrounded by mountains, and sandstorms are a rare occurrence in places like this.

Many people exclaimed that it was outrageous, and that the weather today was truly bizarre.

But just moments later, something earth-shattering happened throughout the city.

The earth began to shake, and countless houses collapsed.

The mountain collapsed, and huge rocks rolled down the mountain, creating a cave-in.

A torrential downpour began.

Mudslides occurred in many parts of Panshan City, burying many vehicles and pedestrians traveling on mountain roads.

An earthquake struck Panshan City.

A massive earthquake swept through the entire city.

Even several nearby cities felt the strong tremors.

The official channels also quickly broadcast the news.

An 8 magnitude earthquake struck Panshan City, causing severe damage and numerous deaths and injuries.

Official support is currently being provided; the situation is critical.

……

This news quickly became a trending topic after it came out.

The entire Dragon Kingdom is paying attention to this matter.

"Oh? I heard there was an earthquake in Panshan?"

"This...this is too sudden. Don't we have earthquake warnings now? Such a big earthquake, didn't we get a warning for the Panshan area?"

"I don't know. Can you tag the official channels and tell me what the earthquake monitoring personnel are doing?"

"Such a massive earthquake couldn't possibly have occurred without any warning signs, could it? Were the local monitoring personnel all asleep?"

"This is such a big matter, we must find out the truth!"

"It's too late to talk about this now. The most important thing now is to go and rescue people. This incident is even bigger than the earthquake of that year. The survivors inside are waiting for rescue!"

"I'd like to ask what channels I can use to donate?"

"I'm willing to go and volunteer to help!"

……

Following the incident, personnel and rescue teams from all sides mobilized and rushed to Panshan City, the epicenter of the earthquake.

People from all walks of life also inquired about donation channels.

Meanwhile, many people are also curious about what earthquake early warning units are doing.
How could such a massive earthquake in Panshan happen without any warning?
The authorities conducted a thorough investigation into the matter, but the results surprised them.

The earthquake in Panshan came without any prior warning. It was as if it happened suddenly.

Extremely weird.

The unit that issued the earthquake early warning provided the detection data from that time.

The data does indeed show that everything is normal, and it is not a case of dereliction of duty as netizens have claimed.

The authorities remained silent about the outcome.

Now they don't understand what's going on either.

Within the official ranks, no conclusion has been reached regarding the issue of earthquake early warning.

High-ranking officials immediately pointed out the problem.

Since this has already happened, let's put this issue aside for now.

We should focus all our efforts on rescue efforts and get the victims out of the disaster area first.

However, we now face a major problem.

After an earthquake, it is generally difficult for vehicles to reach the earthquake site because earthquakes of this magnitude destroy virtually all the ground that can be damaged.

Even military vehicles would find it very difficult to get in.

The ground is cracked, and there are too many roadblocks, making it extremely difficult to drive in.

Clearing a passable area would take at least several days.

In such situations, the authorities typically dispatch rescue helicopters to enter the area immediately.

Airdrop rescue personnel in.

However, the situation inside Panshan is quite troublesome now.

Moreover, it's not just a little bit of trouble.

The problem lies in Panshan City after the earthquake.

The area has been experiencing a climate characterized by torrential rain and strong winds.

The weather was extremely bad.

Although modern helicopters can fly in the rain and overcome many adverse weather conditions.

However, the climate in Panshan City is now quite harsh.

In such severe weather, rescue helicopters cannot get in.

A high-ranking official said: "The weather in Panshan City is too bad, so rescue helicopters can't get in at all, and it would be too difficult for rescue personnel to get in."

Moreover, an even more troublesome issue is that if the rain continues like this in Panshan City, there is a high possibility of flooding.

After all, the earthquake had destroyed the entire city's drainage system. With this level of rainfall, if flooding occurs, even if there are survivors inside the mountain area, everything will be lost once the floodwaters come.

The two most terrifying disasters in the world are earthquakes and floods.

But now, Panshan City has caught up with them.

Earthquakes, torrential rain, and strong winds.

It could very well cause flooding.

Imagine if a survivor were trapped under rocks or floorboards, already unable to move.

They can survive for two or three days without food and water while waiting for rescue.

But if a flood occurs at this time, the floodwaters will submerge your mouth and nose.

I can't move, and I can't breathe.

A person will die in a few minutes.

The number of deaths and injuries that would have occurred at that time is incalculable.

The most dangerous thing now is not the earthquake, but the torrential rain.

The authorities are also in a real bind.

At this extremely complicated moment, many netizens went to the official website of Longhushan to inquire.

Can the Taoist priests help resolve the torrential rain incident in Panshan City?
Even just helping to stop the rain would be helpful!
It started as just an inquiry.

It was quickly spotted by many netizens, who were immediately impressed.

Yup!

At this moment, I almost forgot about Longhu Mountain.

Aren't these Taoist priests supposed to be able to summon wind and rain?
If it can summon wind and rain, it can surely stop the rain, right?
